I can think of four compelling reasons to go to Exchange 2000. You'll have to evaluate whether they're compelling enough for you.
1. Better OWA. If OWA is important to you, E2K's OWA knocks 5.5's dead. 2. Somewhat better cluster support. For my money, however, clustering Exchange still seems like a poor value. That will likely get better before too long, though. 3. SAN support. If you're convinced that you just have to run Exchange on a SAN, Exchange 2000 now lets you back it up in a reasonable way. I still don't understand the cost/benefit of running Exchange with a SAN (I understand it for other applications), but it seems that some people are hell-bent on it. 4. Scaling big. With the multiple database and storage group support, you can go to larger user counts without putting everything into one massive database.
