We currently have 4006's SupII in our closets and they have no trouble handling the traffic (240 ports). If you want to go IOS you can move up to the SupIII engine on this unit. They interface with our 6513's via gig uplinks and to date we have not had any issues with the 4006's or the gig uplinks.
Personally I like them, but others may have varying opinions.
