Hopefully a simple question for all of you:

If I can add the Sup720-3B/XL to either the 6500 or 7600 systems, why
would you choose one over the other?

My thought is the 6500+Sup720-3B/XL = 7600+Sup720-3B/XL+(pick choice of L2
switch).  Why choose the 7600+L2 switch over a single unit of
6500+Sup720-3B/XL?

I'm trying to help a customer of ours choose which way to go - integrated,
unified device for L2/L3 (i.e. 6500) or separate L2 and L3 devices (i.e.
3750 or the likes and 7600).  They are planning on being a mostly Ethernet
shop, with most of their connections at the 100/1000Mb level.

Thanks for your thoughts and opinions.

Chris
