Do I have enough traffic to justify switching to Commerce (Enterprise) ?

[BrandCommerce]

I get at peak 160,000 sessions per month to my Magento 1 CE Website.  I am expecting the traffic to increase over time.  We are deciding now whether to switch to Magento 2 Open Source or Magento 2 Commerce.  

Hosting costs are not an issue, we can upgrade if required.
I just want to know if it is worth upgrading to Magento 2 Commerce if Magento 2 Open Source can handle that amount of traffic?

Any suggestions?

I think it depends on what you mean by traffic increase.

If your traffic is expected to increase consistently over time, it might be worth switching to Magento 2 Commerce.

However, if your traffic will increase only a few times throughout the year such as Black Friday or marketing campaign etc you might end up underusing your e-commerce infrastructure and paying more than you need to. In that case, I would recommend looking at some of the extensions available from the Magento Marketplace to safeguard your website during traffic peaks, like Queue-it.

Hope this helps.
