The M7i looks good, and with the trade-in program, may be within budget. 
However, the 2 GigE bundle is twice as expensive as the 2 FastE bundle.  That 
said, we only really need 1 GigE now (with 1 FastE for backup).  What is the 
difference in these PICs:

PE-1GE-SFP
P-1GE-SX

I know the P-1GE-SX is older (and seems to be cheaper), but will it work in the 
M7i? (trying to get a GigE interface for as cheap as possible)
