Some advantages of buying a 520ST (as opposed to the 1040):

The 520 is pretty well field tested. It's been used by a lot
of people with relatively few problems. The 1040 hasn't, so
we don't really know yet if there may be problems with the
internal drive or power supply.

The 520 is slightly more modular. If the power supply or disk
drive breaks, you can buy or borrow another one, and thus not
have much down time. If the 1040 breaks you have no option but
to have it serviced.
