If you try to buy the LCs your account team should try to convince you 
to go with the appliances instead.  My account team told me that they 
LCs are being terminated at some point in the future and replaced with 
the appliances so if you buy the LCs today you will most likely run into 
software limitations down the road as appliances get all the good stuff 
and the LCs get bug fixes only (at some point in their life at least). 
I'd go with the appliances.
