I'm unsure of the limitations of the IPS SSC as well.

If you want an ASA then just get a 5505 with 50 users and the base license. Everything else you do rack rental. The SSC IPS is significantly more expensive than the 5505 so it isn't worth it IMO. However, if you really want to have a good CCSP lab then get a 5510 + SecPlus.
