Pros and cons of using current BODS vs new BODS installation

We have an existing BODS installation which is BODS 4.2 SP11, database is SQL Server 2012 and OS is Windows 2008R2. We have a new project where where BODS will be utilized mostly for moving master data objects to a HANA based ECC system (estimated 30 master data objects and about 150k rows).

The question is should we do a new installation of BODS on HANA database specifically for this project or can we use our existing BODS environment . What are the Pros and Cons of each approach.

Here’s the current environment:

                                CPU           RAM       OS

PROD BODS 6 core x 2.6 GHz 32 GB Win 2008 R2
DB 4 core x 2.4 GHz 32 GB Win 2008 R2

QA BODS 4 core x 2.3 GHz 30 GB Win 2008 R2
DB 4 core x 2.3 GHz 30 GB Win 2008 R2

DEV BODS 4 core x 2.3 GHz 16 GB Win 2008 R2
DB 4 core x 2.3 GHz 30 GB Win 2008 R2

Any suggestions will be much appreciated, Thanks.
