I tend to agree with this one - stacking (using proprietary technologies) core switches could get risky when things get hairy. Besides, how much can you stack before a chassis makes sense, and not just in ports? I've used 3560G's as core switches in relatively small PoP's (pushing about 1Gbps or more with LACP).

If you're not averse to other vendors, you could consider Juniper's EX3200's and EX4200's as well. Cheers, Mark.
