You can go with the self support option. Seeing you are willing to go with CentOS as long as there are timely updates. That tells me you dont really care about getting "support" from the vendor. You can pick up workstation self support for $50 and server for $350 a year. That means you will get all the updates but just can't call or open tickets with Redhat. The limitations imposed by Redhat for "Support" they will provide are artificial. Although Redhat says it will only support 2 sockets and x amount of virtual guests you can still do it.
From what I saw on the redhat site they have also taken away that support/subscription model. They have standard support as minimum, for me it would be 4,000+ or more for my 2 little non-commercial servers...forget it.
First option, Desktop Self-support Subscription (1 year) $49:

First option, Server Self-support Subscription (1 year) $349

A 2 socket virtualization platform is $1,999 giving unlimited virtual guests.
