 Hey, Kirk...

 I'm going to suggest a third direction.

 We're running the network on 14 virtual Rivendell installations,
 ( and one or two real ) and two servers.
 It's all redundant and sync'd.

 The servers are nothing to write home about, but they don't have to be.
 The virtual host machines are 8 core I-7's with 16G Ram and 1T
 RAID-1, with two ASI Livewire cards each.

 A lot of bang for the buck, and not a lot to maintain.
 ( compared to running each one discrete )
 Those disks are largely unused, but as disks go they're cheap, and as
 this started as a bit of a science experiment we wanted to be sure
 there'd be enough. Truth be told, 150G would have been enough, but we
 learned. We're on our 4th incantation working the bugs out.
 Ask Fred when you both have some spare time.

 The displays in the studios ( and elsewhere ) are RaspberryPI
 throw-a-way's.
 I don't think I'd try to run Riv. actually on the Raspberries, but as
 essentially KVM displays it's working great !
