520 model debate

We are currently running a model 820-2395 (370 cpw). Our batch
processing is taking too long (8 hours) and online response is slow at
times.
The debate is on (and must be finalized by Sept 30) on whether we
upgrade to a 520/0902/7459 (1,000cpw) or a 520/0903/7453 (2,400cpw). We
can buy a 2400cpw machine now and pay less (in totality) than what it
would cost to upgrade later from the 1000cpw machine. However, the
debate is:
- do we need the 2400cpw now? will it be overkill?
- will the cost to upgrade to the 2400cpw machine decrease by this time
next year?

If anyone has migrated from an 820 to a 520 and would like to share
their experiences, especially performance-wise, that would be helpful.

Any insight is helpful.
