EDIT: Here's my thinking: I purchase the 'premium add-on' for SBS 2011, then install the 2008R2 OS as a virtualized server (to use only for its terminal services) (buy an extra RAID set for 2008R2 to live on?)

We don't need exchange or sharepoint.


Just make sure your processor is capable of handling the load. SBS Essentials is pretty light. RAM is cheap. Hard drives are at all time high right now. I don't think you get Exchange and Sharepoint unless you get SBS Standard.
