The biggest issue has always been timing. We've caught ourselves a few
times with 5 IP addresses left and had to wait to sign new customers up
for a while until ARIN got back to us. Luckily, stiring up the pool of
IP's usually gets a dozen or so to drop out that we missed as being
available.

It's not a matter of convincing, it's a matter of demonstrating need.
If you're actually _using_ the four /24s, you can demonstrate a need for
a
/22 today. So a good first step would be to use the four /24s until
they're full. Second step would be to apply to ARIN for a /22 to
replace
them. Renumber into that. Then keep applying to ARIN for more space as
you need it.
