VMware nested installation

I had this question after viewing Vmare 6.5 and VUM appliance.

If the nested solution works  on VMware workstation then I should be able to get the use ROI of my old DL500 G5 I bought couple of years back from ebay, by next year I should be able to buy new one.
Also, I was thinking about using host profile before I upgrade ESX host. If I have host profile I should be able to remediate VLAN and ISCSI on existing ESX standard switch without reconfiguration, if I chose to clean install ESX host.
Also, what is recommended sequence installation for 6.5 -

Would it be VCSA upgrade first and ESX one by one? Do you recommend clean install for VCSA or it is same do upgrade from 6 to 6.5?
Once it VCSA is upgraded, can just use inbuilt VUM to upgrade ESX host from VUM to get compatible HP ESXi image?
