Sorry - that reference to 703 threw me; I had 600 MIP engines in my head. Sooo .... been a *long* time since I've seen a site that needs a big engine in preference to more (total) MIPs across more engines. So long as you don't have any task that needs more than 50% of your current engine, can't see a problem (RMF is your friend here). You can always vary an engine offline if it looks like you are being impacted by "short engines". Doesn't help if you hit the roof on the new engines, but I'd think that unlikely.
