 I think this it's only con to have intelligent (read: expensive) LC's, if
sup720-3bxl can perform as CCO claims with dumb LC's. (big if). Of course
you'll loose the already mentioned hierachial QoS, but other than that
I still don't see valid selling point for GSR if I'd blindly trust
sup720-3bxl specs.

 Aye, but for sake of discussion I wanted to compare strict Ethernet
environment.
