There are three things with the design of the box I'm not that happy
with (but now I'm probably just nit-picking):

1) Use of SFP+ instead of XFP-optics (no 40km optics at FCS, "never"
anything beyond 40km)

It's a LAN switch. If you want a metro switch, get something with deeper buffers. And you don't really want to run a 40km link on SFP+ either.

2) Double depth of the switch (compared to ME3400E, Catalyst 35xx)

minor pain. Not going to get upset about it, as the switches still fit into an 800x600 cabinet.

3) Power connectors in the back, network on the front (I really like
the ME3400E design)

Again, don't care where these are, but I'm pleased that Cisco have finally built a general purpose access switch with onboard dual PSU. Personally, I found RPSs to be insufferable.
