The 3560 originally only came into life, because the 3550 could
not meet the IEEE PoE standard, so they took the 3750, which had
standards compliant PoE, removed the stacking ports, and lowered
the price to something slightly less insane.

So, from a hardware perspective, the 3560 *is* a 3750, except for
the stacking ports, which are missing on the back of the chassis.

Which software features will be left out on the 3560 to 'justify'
the price of the 3750 is anybody's guess. Today, they're the same,
as far as I can tell.
