Then you're betting on the right horse. Get the G8Xi cards and two MSMs

They test what they're told to test. I've read Tolly Group test of the
6500 and the Black Diamond. It's perfectly accurate. If you read the Cisco
"response" test you get more facts which are not in the Tolly report. Read
both and you get an accurate picture of what matters.
