Even more useful is the fact that IBM will "loan" you an IFL by activating one of the unused CPs in your box, and configuring it as an IFL. IBM will also "loan" you a copy of z/VM for your proof of concept project. Novell (ok, and Red Hat) will let you evaluate SLES (with 180 days worth of maintenance for SLES) for no cost. You're only using 3 of the 4 engines in your z9BC, so I don't see any reason for not going down this path.
