Hi, The University of NSW (Australia) was also part of the beta program. We have a pair of 5508's that are currently controlling most of our wireless network (with the old WiSM controllers as backup). The 5508 is the way to go for scalability and I would also consider it if you are interested in using some of its new features such as Office Extend, which is a sort of hybrid wireless/VPN solution for remote offices or teleworking.
As James Nesbitt said, there were some problems with the initial beta hardware but this was then upgraded and so the 250 AP limit will probably be increased with further testing. We are running the latest version of code and it appears to be very stable (at least for what we do).
