We already have the WLC 5508s with licenses so I won't be able to swap
them. I will check out the hotstandby mode though - wasn't aware of it.

The main problem I have with the 4500s is redundantly connecting the WLCs.
The WLCs only support one LACP (LAG) and there is no VSS support on the
4500s. In addition, it may later be decided to turn the "wireless
connection" into a collapsed PE/CE - so MPLS support would be a bonus.
