Well, I'm sort of working on the rackmount. What I have powered on on the bench is the new 4 port gigabit powerinjector+sync. I have a 450i, a 450, an airfiber24, and some random 24v ubnt radio all powered on at the same time with straight through cables. 2 power busses, each port individually jumperable. Firmware is done, cases show up in a couple of weeks, and it's shipping shortly thereafter. They should be up on the website this week for preorders.
Once those are out, I mainly need to just reformat that same circuit into the rackmount and 12 port form factor.
