Switches

[Media Connection <mcnyweb @ mcny . com>]

We are about to purchase switches for our network.
We started looking at Cisco 2900's, but now find
BayNetworks BayStack 350T quite appealing.  There
is a 8K price difference, and I was wondering if
anyone has experience with one switch versus
the other, or any other switches.  Below, is a 
comparison I put together based on the marketing 
materials from both companies.  Thanks for your
help.
