Or would we be just better off using a Precision 470 as a second server?

Well the server only has 2 sockets so 2 more of the same processors won't help, they'd have to be dual core processors to make any difference.. but it would make a difference and be worth a few hundred bucks for sure.
We can't really use it as a server though, most colocation facilities need rack-mounted servers, the ones that have shelves for non rack mount charge extra per month (like $50 or more).
