I'd vote to go with the bigger machine.  It's easy to split up an
8600 amoung many users, but more difficult to try to aggregate the
two 785s together to solve a larger one.  VAXCluster is a joke.
Perhaps it might we worth trying to pull the PURDUE trick.  Thats
closely coupled enough to solve our problems..'
