Reviewing the IP-600 and IP-500 further, the spec sheets have me a little confused. The IP-500 states it supports three lines, and the IP-600 six lines. What is confusing me is that on the IP-600 spec sheet (http://www.polycom.com/common/pw_item_show_doc/1,1276,1820,00.pdf), under the IETF SIP bullet, is says "up to 3 dedicated lines, 2 call appearances per line." This same wording is used under the same bullet on the IP-500 spec sheet (http://www.polycom.com/common/pw_item_show_doc/1,1276,1042,00.pdf).
Can someone who has used both phones clear this up? Does the IP-600 fully support 6 lines under SIP, or is the line functionality of the IP-500 and IP-600 identical?

My first thought was the Cisco 7960G, but the Cisco licensing scheme irritates me enough that I'll probably end up going with either the Polycom IP-600 or Snom 360. If anyone has any opinions of these phones, especially in comparison to each other, I would really appreciate hearing them. Is there a reason you would recommend one of these phones over the others, or any reason why you would steer people away from a particular model? This is for a small office, with only 8-10 phones. A receptionist and a couple of office staff will be responsible for watching the "office" line(s), and three or four support reps will be watching a technical support queue. Our environment dictates that we move around a lot, and not necessarily be tied to our workstations, so being able to take calls from any given phone is an important consideration. In the same vein, knowing the status of other staff (i.e. if they are on a call or idle) would be very useful, and is something we are used to with our current setup.
