Migration from ColdFusion 5 to ColdFusion 8 plus Dev issues

I can use some advice please. I am working with a client that has been running CF5 enterprise since before 2000.  They had one site running on a 10 server farm on NT4 and they were all licensed copies obviously.  They used Cluster Cats for Load Balancing successfully for years. Their other site had 3 server running CF5 enterprise.  Only 1 server was public and the others were the dev server and an internal administration server.  They want to move to a lb site with 2 server using Radware units they own already.  I was hoping they could use CF8 standard with Radware. They implemented one CF8 standard server for the smaller site and migrated their code successfully. Now they want to use the DEV version but say that one user is not acceptable for a development server.  What do most companies do when they need a dev server for CF8 was the question I am being asked.  I assumed that if one user is not enough they buy a copy.  They also have the internal admin server which they also thought a dev server would suffice. For the larger company they have moved to a 2 server DNS round robin farm still running CF5 but now on W2003. The site is faster because of the hardware improvement, I know there are Railo and other solutions but I do not think that is a good option for them especially as a Windows shop. HELP please   any ideas.
