+1.  They are dirt cheap, rock solid from our experience, and have options for 10 optical ports (c3550-12G).  With that said, unless I'm missing something, I still don't see IPv6 routing support and they are EOL.  We will be moving away from them and don't see C3560 or C3750 as a viable replacement.
