Exactly,
We use a local vendor and have a guy there who can code just about anything
into the firmware for us so we never have problems with unsupported
transceivers and the "show int trans" or "sh controller" pops out plethora
of useful information, we use XFP, SFP+ and SFP in different platforms no
with issues whatsoever. 
And the prices are just incomparable to Cisco prices.
