I highly recommend giving them a call and talking it through with them. There are a lot of different options available, and they can help you decide which is the best way to approach your scenario.
I don't know how the front line sales people are, but the professional services team - the folks who actually work with you on the setup and integration, are extremely knowledgeable and get involved very early in the discussion so you'll end up getting the right stuff for your needs. Speaking from an inside perspective, the service they deliver is great, and the underlying technology is astonishing. Basically if you can benefit from what they offer, and the cost makes sense for you, don't hesitate to do it. That may sound a little sales-pitchy, but only because I know how they operate, and know the level of talent they have in their engineering and R&D. They are ubiquitous for a reason (and they are - you'd be hard pressed to find many major sites who DON'T use them.)
