Well, I can think of at least two reasons why an SE is better than a Plus:

1. If you ever decide to Ethernet your network, it's much easier doing it
with an SE server (because of the internal slot).

2. The SE has a fan and more robust power supply.  I like my servers cool
and reliable.

Point (2) goes for the Classic, as well.
