And even when you compare when it's fully populated, it's only a bit cheaper. The SmartNet option looks like a wash to me.<br><br>So really, in my case, cause they're separated over two closets the VG224s make sense.<br><br>The VG350 does have more options, like OPX-lite on some ports, red phone compatibility, filtering, etc., but I can't justify the cost at this time. And I can almost buy a new gigabit switch for the extra uplinks I need. ;)<br><br>YMMV,<br><br>Lelio<br><br><span><br><span name="x"></span>---<br>Lelio Fulgenzi, B.A.<br>Senior Analyst, Data Centre and Communications Facilities<br>Computing and Communications Services (CCS)<br>University of Guelph<br><br>519‐824‐4120 Ext 56354<br>lelio@uoguelph.ca<br>www.uoguelph.ca/ccs<br>Room 037, Animal Science and Nutrition Building<br>Guelph, Ontario, N1G 2W1<span name="x"></span><br></span><br><hr id="zwchr"><b>From: </b>"Nick Matthews" <matthnick@gmail.com><br><b>To: </b>"Lelio Fulgenzi" <lelio@uoguelph.ca><br><b>Cc: </b>"Dennis Heim" <Dennis.Heim@wwt.com>, "cisco-voip@puck.nether.net VOIP" <cisco-voip@puck.nether.net><br><b>Sent: </b>Sunday, April 21, 2013 4:52:14 PM<br><b>Subject: </b>Re: [cisco-voip] VG350 Gateway ... anyone deployed this yet?<br><br><div dir="ltr"><div>When I did the cost comparison last I did use the smartnet cost in the calculation, and I believe made the 350 more appealing.

<br>I still have to do a port cost analysis, but thought I'd ask about experience. Some advantages I see are one device configuration and only one (or two with redundancy) uplink ports needed. Power savings may be a wash, not sure yet. Of course, with one device, comes one point of failure. <br>
