What about longer term maintenance issues? Is the 7500 not scheduled for
EOL from Cisco 'soon' ? So, purchasing 7500 bits that might be dropped by
'normal' Cisco support in 1 year versus purchasing some other hardware
that will be in support longer might pay out in the longer term?

Well technically buying a used 7500 doesn't entitle you to run IOS
on it, so you need to re-license the Ebay Special and that usually costs
close to what a new 7500 would cost. Anyway, on to the reason for my post.
I've heard conflicting reports, is a 7206 faster at packet switching than a
7507?
Some people tell me it is a better router, some people tell me it
isn't.
Feh.
