Great, thanks.  This is exactly the information I'm looking for.  I've 
pretty much taken the 7300 of the solution list due to all the feedbacks 
I've gotten now.  (many of which state some of the very things you 
mentioned).

I'm actually looking at the 7606 now with the Sup 720-3BXL. 
Unfortunately the GSR's seem like a little bit overkill and out of 
budget right now.
