Hang, Greg, any issues around ProCurve firmware updates rendering them unrecognized ? Obviously HP do "something" to lock out non-HP SFPs.

I have purchased a bunch of modules from a different source that were noted as 100% compatible and had no issues.

Assuming the source is reputable that would be the way to go. I wouldn't go with "compatible" SFPs unless the source will guarantee 100% HP compatibility - HP switches are VERY VERY picky about the SFPs - the devil is in the details, but generally speaking they will refuse to work with generic gigabit SFPs. Their formerly-3com offerings might be more lenient.
