I faced this situation (more or less) short time ago, I had to decided whether using HP 5300XL or not, they are Layer 3 and cheaper than a Cisco 4000, but finally I decided not buy them because, afaik, they don't implement VRRP or HSRP. Other reason: I think you can't use CSWI, because you need to have cdp enabled. In this list there are people who knows a lot more than me about hp switches (I think I talked with Larry Letterman 6 months ago about them) perhaps they could help you
