Same here brother. Three years ago we had no IBM equipment whatsoever on site; today we have a Z800, a Shark, an iSeries, and a bladeserver, all working together very harmoniously. And all of it put together with a lot of BS&T.
The mainframe, for example, is running about 20 instances of zLinux under z/VM, all of which are managed by essentially one person. The Linux systems support lots of users with 3270 clients (yes, Linux and 3270 clients - much better response time this way! :) and with a really slick homebuilt debugger, VSAM, and oh yeah - it is all pretty much written in HLASM. I'm as proubd of this as I can be, and it is both cost efficient and fast fast fast fast.... :)
It *can* be done - the doing of it is something that takes a lot of time and committment though.
