We constantly create Pilot and test servers and using VM is the best way!
Short of a smart configuration change (apps server and ODBC) there is no other work and time to clone and change configuration is about 30 min
At the other side I have a server with same configuration (guarantied) and same performance â€" not sure why anyone would do otherwise if they had the technology
And if you don’t why don’t you get it as you will need it in the future
