[cisco-voip] 79xx vs. 99xx

[Ed Leatherman]

My only issue personally with the 9900's is still performance..
interface seems sluggish compared to 7900s. I'm hoping this will
improve with subsequent releases.

We decided to stick with the 7900's for the time being on any future
large deployments, just to keep things consistent with user experience
& training, with the expectation that niche areas will probably be
filled with 8945's or 9900's. I don't feel the new interface is
particularly worse, just a lot different.

As a side note, getting ready to roll out a decent number of 6901's
for residence hall assistants, etc.
