No problems with that. When stacking 3750s, the stack in all practical sense
becomes one switch. Actually, you can think of it sort of like a
chassis-based switch, when the chassis has been removed and the backplane
replaced with cables on the back. (Only, here you have as many supervisors
as you have switches).

Well, for EIGRP you'll have to buy the EMI (Enhanced Multilayer Image), and
do so for every switch in the stack. For a large stack, full layer 3
capability therefore becomes somewhat expensive.

Also, the plain 3750s can't (yet?) be stacked with the 3750 Metro, which is
a shame.
