In fairness, it's not quite a *requirement*. I would like to run the same thing in both places if it makes sense to do so. It might not, given the different size of environment.
That said, I have 8 servers at home (physical and virtual combined), plus assorted networking equipment, so I should be able to use the same product as long as setup isn't too onerous. It is more important to me that the product equally support servers and network devices...
