Agreed. At an enterprise level, there is no need to risk extended downtime to save a buck or two. Redundant hardware is always a good way to keep Murphy out of the equation. And as far as hardware failures go, it's not that common. Nowadays it's the bugs in overly complicated code on your gear that get you first. I miss IOS 11.3.....
So what you're saying is we're more likely to take an outage due to tripping over a bug, so we should go for the simplest non-crossover config to minimize the chances of hitting a bug. ;)
It's certainly worthy of consideration. Owen
