I think we'd take advantage of that too since we have plenty of
locations already setup with POE for wireless APs. Customers would
probably be pretty impressed to :)

Yes.
A setup at work: in one half of an office, we have four tables placed together.
At each table, we have one keyboard/mouse, two LCD monitors, and two SunRays
(running multihead). Four workplaces grouped together.
We have 16 thick 230V cables going to this isle.
With SR2 units, we would also have 8 power-bricks somewhere under the tables.
Then there's the 8 ethernet cables of course - pretty much unavoidable, but
they're small and flexible - not a big deal.
Now, with PoE, I could get by with only 8 thick 230V cables and 8 ethernet
cables. You are right that I do not eliminate the need for power cables, but
8 cables is a lot more manageable than 16 cables and 8 power bricks. A lot
easier to route/place nicely under a table.
