Chad,
It depends on what you want to do. The 4 is fine for hosting multiple,
mostly static, lightly hit sites. If you intend to host heavily hit,
dynamic sites with a great deal of data base IO, the XTR may be worth the
difference for you. The software on the XTR is a nice refinement over that
on the 4, but probably not worth the difference unless you need the advanced
performance (about double for the high end model), and are concerned about
hardware, hot swappable RAID.
