Well that's interesting.  On the Sup720 IP Services is still a $0 cost 
option.  You only get hit for an extra if you want IP Advanced Services 
or better.  I guess the pricing lets you get a capable wiring closet 
switch for not a lot of dollars, or a capable L3 switch for a few more.

Even with the IP Services license it's still only a couple of grand 
(Aussie) more than a 7206 NPE-G1 combo.  And you get 8 * GigE rather 
than the 3 * GigE of the NPE-G1.  Still not a bad option if you aren't 
looking for WAN interfaces.
