This hardware should be just fine. Don't forget to consider a good PoE switch such as an HP 2610-24-PWR
Having replaced two Norstar systems with sipX myself, The most difficult task you will probably face when setting up the system is end user training. I spent weeks drawing up new user quick start guides, voicemail key mapping guides, web interface user guides, hands-on training the end users, etc. etc. and they STILL sunk when I actually went live with the system. Fortunately, for the most part, they picked everything up after 2 or 3 days of actually using the system. The hardest thing to get users of a Norstar system used to is the fact that they lose the ability to see the status of each individual analog line and that they can't press hold on a call and pick it up on another phone in the office. The best way to work around this is to teach them how to use parking slots (which is fairly easy on Polycom phones). Good luck with your deployment.
