2950T and 3550

0

In the CiscoPress CCNP lab books they often ask for one 2950T and one 3550. I understand the need for the 3550 because of layer 3 switching but what are some major differences between the 2950 and 2950T. When comparing prices between the 2950T($600) and 2950($180) there is a huge cost differential. I realize that the 2950T has two Gigabit ports to be used for trunking but is there any disadvantage to just using a Catalyst 2950 and configuring two of the 100Mb ports as a trunk.
