It's incredible to me that you gave the top spot to Cisco when it was TWO TIMES the price of the nearest competitor! As a matter of fact you only mention it in passing, as if it is totally irrelevant. It does not appear in the "Cons" column for the Cisco! The overall scores among the top players were so close, an unbiased reviewer would have come out and said, "You should be fired if you waste your company's money on the Cisco switch". Period.
Imagine an automotive magazine's shootout between a Ford, Chevy and Chrysler; where the reviewer finds that the cars are basically identical. The Ford wins by a hair but costs TWICE the price of the other cars. Can you imagine a single LEGIT automotive magazine that wouldn't totally trash the Ford for their pricing and highly recommend that the consumer avoid it?
