+1 :) I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, but are they different enough to warrant all the different part numbers? How about a universal SFP that works across similar products. I can't comment on the others but I've seen the EX and MX/M SFP's interchanged. More often than not it happens by accident. Juniper adds to the fun by not printing the part number on most of them.
