I would take the next day on site option as it's not a lot extra. My work gear as 4 hour on site - I can get an email in the morning about a failed SAN disk and have it in my hands by 2pm, and have the old one boxed and ready for their courier to collect by 5pm. An engineer is optional - I fit myself as it woul dbe as much effort to go top the datacentre to escort their man in as it is to fit the disk myself. That's *not* cheap though...
