If we're picking nits <grin> then the 2900XLs come in both 4Mb and 8Mb 
flavors, the former lacking copper trunking and some other features, and 
residing in a "deeper" footprint case (though the same vertical 
rackspace), and frozen in IOS-time several releases behind the 8Mbs.

If you're shopping for cheap 2900XLs for whatever purpose, you may be 
disappointed in the older 4Mb series.
