The cost of XP MCE 2005 is greater than the cost of Vista Home Premium
upgrade. And you can do a clean install of Vista Home Premium upgrade by
following these instructions:

If your system doesn't meet the requirements for Vista and if your funds are
tight, then by all means get XP MCE 2005. I just like saving people money
as I am poor myself.
