I've never used a 3500, but IIRC, those are layer 2 switches. The 3550's are all layer 3 switches...so the biggest difference would be one is capable of IP routing (participating in OSPF, BGP, etc., having layer 3 ports) while the other is a layer 2 switch.

processing and packet switching performace, but more one of features. Does anyone have any insight? I just don't want to tell the purchasers to buy the less expensive switch if it might not cut the mustard. I don't really require any more "features" than etherchannel and VLANs....

It looks like the 3508G will do those.
