What are the differences between a 4/360 and a 4/370 ?  I have a 3/160 and
a 3/260, one of which is to be upgraded to a 4/3xx.  The upgrade paths are

	3/160 --> 4/370  swaps enclosure, CPU & memory boards  (List 26900)
	3/260 --> 4/360  swaps CPU & memory boards (List 9800)

If the 4/370 and 4/360 are equivalent except for the enclosure, then the
4/360 is the way to go.  However, there is no official upgrade path from
the 4/360 whereas the 4/370 can go to a 4/470.  Are there limitations to
the 4/360 like power supply, or mechanical specs that would prevent it
from also going to a 4/470 ?  I'm asking the net since my Sun salesperson
has been tough to reach recently.  Thanks for any help you can give.
