my company mirrors yours.. same user base, same problem two years ago. i was in the same spot as you and I did build the machines myself.
two years later, would i ever do it again? nah. replace what you can replace, it's not worth the headache, and while i don't use openimage i will say that using a single vendor when possible is very nice, i have only 4 images for a company now with ~130 desktops...
if you know what you're doing, it will be a fun project... but i'll tell you building all those machines gets pretty damn tedious.
