Can Vcenter manage Enterprise and standard hosts?

Im pretty sure I know the answer to this but wanted to confirm before purchasing.  We currently have 5 Enterprise VMware esxi 5.5 hosts with Vcenter.  We might be adding 3 more hosts but don't need DRS on them so we don't think we need Enterprise Edition on them.  So I would like to go with Standard Edition for the 3 new hosts. 

Im pretty sure I can use my Current Vcenter Server to manage the hosts for both Enterrprise and Standard, I just cant put my Standard hosts in the same cluster as the Enterprise hosts.

But I want to make sure im right about this or do I actually need another Vcenter server to manage the Standard hosts?


Thanks
