Thanks again for all the comments and links. Sounds like I shouldn't
encounter any issues apart from the usual, well-documented installation
bumps. 

I think I'll go ahead and order the upgraded 5501 - the extra $30 hardly
seems relevant if I get another 10 years out of this box like I did with
the last one. And I don't see myself needing anything the 6501 will
offer. For storage, I'll stick with CF for now, along with MFS and the
usual tweaks there to minimize disk writes. I can always keep a backup
of the CF image handy in case I hit some kind of trouble. Then I can
just buy a fresh card if necessary, or even keep a spare around since
they're so cheap. And I might as well get the higher-rated power supply
as well. I kind of doubt it will be necessary if I'm using CF instead of
a mechanical disk, but there's no sense in risking hard-to-debug PSU
problems.

Thanks again!
