This is nowhere near the volume of data where you would have to use Katta. Katta has much more limited search and configuration features- it is more a very distributed version of Lucene than a search server. Solr has added a lot of features over and above Lucene.
To have 2 query servers for each index, we have 2*20*35gb/5 = 280gb of index per server. This is a large Solr but many run much larger systems. This should run fine on a server with 24-32G of ram and at least 3 fast (10k SATA) disks in a raid.
