Scarey ain't it. :)

Cisco has 48-port SFP blades for 6509/sup720, but needs to make a 1.5U 
standalone version.

Common complaint. Even outside of metro applications, everyone wants a 
good 24/48 port SFP w/10GE uplink, or even a 16 port GBIC switch (yes 
GBICs are still alive and well) w/port channeling and some basic jumbo 
frame capabilities, for gige aggregation.
