I think it comes down to a money issue. We've got a lot of 4000s, but
learned early on to just run 3 PRIs into them. With 72 modem models
out there used for 12-15K (sometimes less) it's damned hard to justify
a 6000 if that's all you need. BUT, we have just one 6000 and it has
4 CTIs in it and 96 modems and runs the hell out of V.90 and has
given us absolutely zero problems, even when the heat wave was killing
our 4000s, so.....I doubt I'll ever get another 4000 unless the
bottom falls out of the market. SInce the performance is pretty equal
(given our scenario) I'd probably start snapping them up around the $8k
point.
