Yeah, the 3750 we bought "because it can do v6!".  

And then I discovered that it can neither do v6, nor netflow, nor counters on SVIs.  Spent the rest of its life as too-expensive L2 switch, and fortunately died a few years later (after a much shorter lifespan than normal Cisco gear, so it wasn't even built properly).
