Remember all the problem caused by them shipping REs for m7i/m10i with
only notebook rated (4 hour use per day) hard-drives rather than server
rated (24 hours use per day) drives, for a cost savings of ~$25? :)

1GE LX is the magic line where they make some slightly cheaper optics
that don't include DOM, for every other product they don't even bother
making it without. The price difference is probably about $10 on the
wholesale side.

Notice the only GE product available without DOM support?
