I think another thing to keep in mind though is what kind of growth do 
they project?  

6 users now with 20+ more to add in a year would justify 4.11  If the 
growth continued, they'd have a NOS ready to handle a multi-server LAN.

I'd skip the idea of 3.12.  If I remember right, the price is the same 
for both.  Might as well have the NDS capability there if the time comes 
to use it effectively.
