[c-nsp] Advice on upgrade

 Now I am curious, outside of maybe stackability, and of course if you need
10GE, but outside that, is there any other advantage to the 3750G over the
3560G?  

 I am just curious, as I needed a single switch and went with a 3560G, as I
didn't really see any added advantage to the 3750 unless I overlooked
something..
