With ability to upgrade to quad later. Will this upgrade to quad be the quad strenth you are talking about? Is this or will it be a Core2Quad like this?

Wouldn't know for sure unless he gave you the model number, but since the original is a Core2Duo I'm assuming by Quad he means its direct opposite which would be the Core2Quad Q6600.
Core2Quad Q6600
4 x 2.4Ghz, 8MB Cache
The SCSI will be better than the Raptor, but the B server has way better CPU and RAM. The performance increase you will see with SCSI 15K RPM vs Raptor 10K RPM will be marginalized in my opinion because of the B server's CPU/RAM.
The final outcome though will directly correlate with the amount of read/writes, frequency of each as well as optimization of your DB.
You could very well not see any difference if you dont properly optimize the DB/scripts.
