Loving the 4500-X's for core switching in small- to medium- sized PoP's. Pitching it against Juniper's EX4500 as well. Both support SFP and SFP+ on the same port, so makes upgrading to 10Gbps in the future a piece of cake. I'm done with the large chassis for the majority of core switching installations :-). Mark.
