Does anyone here have real-world experience with Force 10 gear
(Specifically their E-Series and C-Series)? They came and did their
whole dog and pony show today, but I wanted to get real-world feedback
on their gear.

1) Reliability
2) Performance
3) Support staff (how knowledgeable are they?)
4) Price (higher/lower/comparable to comparable Cisco gear)
