I haven't seen a study like this but in this case the overall stability, scalability and feature set should be enough justification. There is a dramatic difference between 1.x and XP in these areas. When we have upgraded clients from 1.x to XP end users have noticed the difference and had a much time with printing, availability, etc. When XP came out Citrix did publish a paper on why to upgrade, you might check their site and see if it is still available.
