And the 1U form-factor is great. Like Gert, we ignored the 
typical 4500's that were chassis-based, for the very same 
reasons.

The expandable modules is a little too sexy for us, but we 
can live with it.

FCS is going to be a while, hence the strange pricing Ryan 
may be seeing; but once it gets going, this should be less 
of an issue.

Juniper's EX4500, on the other hand, is a 2U system, but 
that's fine too. It's still small enough - with expandable 
uplink 10Gbps uplink modules.

Mark.
