There is really no difference between all the ones that you have listed. The only difference is that on one you can add up to a 6MP Camera where i highly doubt anyone would put that high of a resolution on a small NVR because it would need high Bandwidth. So saying that, you might put the cameras at 4096 on main stream and 520+ on Sub stream and there for the 40mb on bandwidth would be good. So a DS-7608NI-SE/P is good enough but if you don't want to get the error message "NO ENOUGH BANDWIDTH" than i would go with DS-7616NI-SE/P so you can have excellent performance especially if you plan on do motion and what not.
