Eh, I think you're dismissing STP way too readily. LAG eliminates the need for spanning tree *for those two ports*. You still need it if there's any possibility your users/noc crew/janitors might do something silly like plug both ports on a Polycom VOIP phone into the wall jacks. Half of the reason that STP is a really good idea on access networks is that it prevents BAD alternate paths. I can't tell you how many networks I've audited where STP has been keeping things running without anyone even knowing about it.
