Absolutely, it was no secret that this was a weak area of the box
but these cards have made a big step in fixing this. Is anyone
testing them? 

To be honest though, there is little need to continue to buy lots
of SDH/PDH based ports. Use EoSDH and deliver customer circuits 
as [gf]ethernet, saves money at the PE and at CPE side and you can
do many more interesting things ala service gateways. Just remember 
to tell your install guys that putting a loop on is a bad idea.
