I know that Extreme Networks already is shipping XENPAK enabled switches. The max for a single fiberspan according to the specs = 40Km. ( depending on the quality of the fibers and the attenuation. )
They have blade's for the Blackdiamond 68 series and the BD10K and the Summit400 has 2 slots where you can fit them in.
The only downside that I've seen on the Summit400 is the limited EAPS support to 1 EAPS domain.. but if you design your network correct you can get away with it. Other than that .. they look like a great ( not too expensive ) way to setup a Metro layer2 network.
