Just a quick note here on business justification. It is a pretty easy
sell here that we need the ability to recover a fully functional VM in
less than an hour. We can't quite get this done with a traditional
backup and restore methodology, but we can do it with the Enterprise
Client. The other alternative is san based snapshots, which isn't cheap.
So our justification looks something like:
Standard Clients + 20% Snapshot Space vs. Enterprise Client
Add to that the decreased backup times of your VMs, and the ability to
keep images on tape longer than snapshots and this justification was
fairly easy.

Capacity too expensive, but I wish we could :-((

No no!
It's an Enterprise Client based on a Tier level per physically populated
socket
Tier 1 =1CPU
Tier 2 = 2-3 CPU
Tier 3 = 4
etc. (Something like that at least...)
Again, populated sockets only! Core counts make no difference.
This covers UNLIMITED guests. You can carve out any number of vCPU's
you want. The Enterprise client for the physical host covers it all!
If they are charging for physical hosts and virtual guests, they are
ripping you off and doing it wrong.
Again, look into Capacity licensing, and it could be simpler for you.
Especially since you use quad CPU boxes.
