The choice is of course yours.. ;)
It would be worth trying a Cisco 'compatible' first before spending the
big bucks on 'branded' optics..

Anyway, this is quite a personal decision and does affect support..

Yea CX4 will work, its the chipset that matters. But CX4 is short

Well the Cisco CX4 costs ~ 600$ List price,
while the SR one costs 3.000$ List price.
That's my main problem...
I would love to go for the SFP+ path but we cannot afford it,
so the CX4 seems like my only choice so far if it's ok with OBSD.
