If it really is only two boxes, FabricPath provides *no* benefits,
For one thing you could provide up to 256 10G links between two
boxes, something you could not do with STP.
only more complexity...
FP config is certainly no more complex than STP. What makes you think

If you want to use FabricPath for anything

and more than two aggregation switches.
