The difference between the 520 "Entry" and the 520 "Entry Plus" is that 
the "Entry" does not include WDS (compilers, PDM, SEU, SDA, WDSC), iSeries

Granted, you might do better on the used market but you have to be really 
careful with software licensing.  Also, some models won't upgrade to 
current, or "next", versions of OS.

Disclaimer:  I'm really not a performance guru as to whether or not that's 
enough power for your concern.
