Scott,

Huge piece of advice: Unless one of your applications NEEDS Oracle enterprise edition functionality, buy standard edition - it's about 1/6th the price (or there abouts). Your Oracle rep will rant and rave about EE's superior management capabilities, etc. (read: will panic at losing their commission on an EE sale).
