I would vote for a low end 720 over the high end 710.
The 710 runs out of slots very quickly and no expansion.
8 gb is plenty of memory for 3-5 users.
I have always liked 4 drives mirrored for low end boxes.
Cached raid is a lot faster but the $$$ goes up.
They seem to be pushing rack mounted these days.

Looking for recommendations (they already have the BP) for a low end system,
Replacing a couple Advanced 36 systems, one local, other will be remote via vpn.
Will run programs in s36 mode, but hopefully they will add newer features (email, advanced printing (pdf), some edi, light web hosting)
Each system currently has 3 - 5 users each.
