Hi Dave:

Our decision came down to the fact that we really couldnt justify multiple
workspaces.  I think that the baseline thought should be "why do we need
multiples" and then try to justify the extra work involved in
creating/maintaining them.  My company really only uses SPS for the document
storage - not dashboarding, workflow, etc.  And the categories we do use and
indexes we want to search through are cross-departmental.  So just my .02
cents, but you may want to work from a standpoint of having one workspace,
and determine what it is you really need but can only get if you go
multiple.
