It also looks like upstream system (RHEL) vendor composes system more suitable for users like you. This is why there are many posts from admins working for larger number of users have so heated discussion, as some of them feel this new philosophy [we see in RHEL 7] is less suitable for large servers. To summarize: in my evaluation this new incarnation of system will be well suited for you, even better than previous versions, and I really recommend you to keep using CentOS 7 and follow RedHat manual for RHEL 7 - someone gave URL on this list - you quite likely will find it extremely helpful and easy to digest.
