John,
You are allowed to have as many zIIPs and zAAPs as CPs, so 2+2+2 is a
legitimate combination.
David,
You might still want to purchase a zAAP if your JAVA workload is large
enough to consume more than your zIIP's unused cycles. Plus the JVM
won't have to compete for cycles with other workloads on the zAAP.
Think of it this way, you will be able to have almost a 2 to1 specialty
engine to CP advantage for JAVA workloads

Is there any reason to buy a zAAP now?
Perhaps you can clear up a confusion on my part. I know that for each zIIP, you
must have a CP. Likewise, for each zAAP, you must have a CP. Now, If I have 2
CPs, can I have 2 zIIPs and 2 zAAPs? Or is it that I must have at least as many
CPs as I have zIIPs+zAAPs?
