Hi Michael Patterson, At my last in-house role we built a new Marketo instance from the ground up and it included RCE. I highly recommend RCE, but can understand a hesitancy to spend more money with Marketo. As you make your decision, consider what metrics are important to your team, and how easy or difficult it is to pull the metrics now. For us, we were running Eloqua, and were only able to pull single (last) touch attribution, and the process took our business analyst days at the end of each month. After getting RCE up and running, I was able to get reports that anyone could run in seconds - and we had multi-touch attribution, pipeline velocity, all sorts of additional metrics we didn't have before. The time savings of our analyst alone paid for the system in the first six months. On the downside, the UI is hilariously dated. Shoot me a note if you'd like more details.
