Maybe I need to review the math.
I was figuring on several small splitters along the route. I didn't
compare to a 1x32 in the cabinet because I figured if I brought every
fiber back to the cabinet then I didn't save anything versus ethernet.

Adam,
How far are you going? We are pushing almost 20 miles on a 1x32 split.
Are you using one 1x32 or multiple smaller splitters?

I'm looking at rural areas (like a few houses per mile). As I'm
looking at hypothetical power budgets for PON, I'm finding that if I
run the line down the road and put splitters on the pole I can split
5-6 times and then I'm getting too low on db to keep going down the
road. At 5 or so houses per port, a 1U, 8 port ONT is no denser than a
1U switch.
Your stated reasons for PON are all correct. The numbers just aren't
seeming to work out for me.
I also figure if I install enough fibers for AE, I can still switch to
PON some day if I want to.
We would never max out the PON port, but looking back on the past 15
years of growth in consumption I wonder if I should ever say "never".
In AE I can put 100Gig in every house if I have to. I'll "never" have
to do that as far as I can imagine, but my imagination could be
limited.

A few reasons...
Port cost is still fairly high.
More splicing.
More fiber required.
Larger chassis required.
More power required.
More battery backup required.
Consumers not even close to using up 1-2 generations back of PON
capacity in most places.

So, why do PON and not active in these super cheap optics days?

We are walking away from them and Alphion...I think Mark's product with
Zhone is different.

In light of finding out that Calix's offering is not going to be
anywhere near within budget, does anyone else have any other
suggestions?
I found these guys, but have never heard of them:

It looks like DASAN also has an option - I've at least heard of them:
