Do not forget that practicing with reverse telnet is HANDY for the lab (do not kill me if I am not right) so a 2509/11 would do great, only it has 2s and 1e. I am getting pretty used to telnetting into my 4 other routers/1 switch trough my 2511...... octal cable. Believe ccieprep.com has a labdocument where they state the use of the reverse telnetting, also every CCIE book comes back on the subject.
