Not An Apples to Apples Comparison
Would like to learn more about the methodology Reggie Grant used to create this product to product comparison between Cisco and Adtran as it isn't creating an apples to apples comparison. For example, the Cisco 2821 compared to the Adtran 4305 ... the Cisco 2821 is a gigabit class router that can support data, voice and video -- the Adtran 4305 is a Fast Ethernet router that supports data only.
In addition, I'd like to undersatnd how the pricing for this comparison was derived. According to CDW's website the Cisco 2821 sells for $2805 and the Adtran 4305 for $1940, highlighting a price delta of roughly $900 dollars, which is less than the $1400 used in the Reggie Grant comparison. Now I realize that CDW is not the only pricing metric, but it is clear how the prices above were derived.
