I would not expect you to switch to version 6; version 7.x would be more sensible. Not that I know of any problems with v6 per se, but the corresponding OnLine system has not been sold for several years now, so I wouldn't expect SE to be available either. Your proposed workload is fairly high for SE, but not outrageously so. I'd want to use OnLine, but I'm biassed.
