I think a major consideration when purchasing a LVE/MLE apart from all the valid points that have been made so far is recognition of the systems being used by other institutions in your locality. Certainly here at Henley, we have several lecturers teaching on courses at Coventry University and use the Uni's VLE to deliver course material, grades etc. This plus the drive towards local collaboration would suggest that the use of similar systems would be an advantage from a usability point of view. I would'nt look forward to having to support lecturers as they struggle to come to terms with 2 or 3 different systems!
