Right. Mirapoints are that way too (at least in our configuration). And yes, we'll probably have to buy a 5th Mirapoint and/or upgrade our current 4 sooner because of it - but the incremental cost for that is *still* lower than the cost of replacing them with another vendor's gear.... Now how do you explain to the CFO that in order to get around a $50K upgrade to the current gear, you want to spend $200K to bring in another vendor? :)
