Great question..
Two points you need to know..... 1252's require gigabit Ethernet ports. (Any 802.11n is going to need gigabit Ethernet ports. The actual throughput is over 100Mbs) You'll need extra power. Not many (if any) 802.11n AP's with dual radios can run on standard POE. Cisco is supposed to be releasing a firmware for their 3750's that will allow it to power the 1252's, but otherwise you'll be regulated to power injectors, or third party mid-span devices.

We would have about a total of 250 to 300 AP's in full deployment. Our wired infrastructure is currently 100% Procurve with about 90% of it being 10/100 switched. I'd like to know what other schools are doing with 802.11n.
