It's a LAN switch.  If you want a metro switch, get something with deeper 
buffers.  And you don't really want to run a 40km link on SFP+ either.

minor pain.  Not going to get upset about it, as the switches still fit 
into an 800x600 cabinet.

Again, don't care where these are, but I'm pleased that Cisco have finally 
built a general purpose access switch with onboard dual PSU.  Personally, I 
found RPSs to be insufferable.
