+1 to what Josh said... we don't do rackmount. It's going to be pretty rare for us to ever care about sync on more than 8 radios at a site, but it's not at all uncommon for us to have 10-12 radios total, and I do like the idea of just having one POE box for everything.
That said, I don't know how often we'd actually end up using the 12 port, since most of the time, 8 ports should be enough.
