I am sure this thread will continue on for a while but this is what I think.
A new 3550 runs about $3k new from Cisco which is still much higher than a
used Cat 5000. It would seem to me that learning concepts on a 5000 (how to
do trunking, VLAN's, one arm routing) would still make sense and then you
can rent a day on a rack and nail the new syntax. I am sure that 3550's
will begin to show up before to long in the pay racks. I imagine Cisco
chose the 3550 over a 6500 to continue with there commitment to make lab
equipment reasonably affordable to most candidates. As for the 3920 I have
always thought it was a bad investment, I am using the 3920 simulation
software and I feel it will prepare me for anything that my be on the lab.

Subject: Changes of lab=loss of $$
Here's a problem and I think quite a few people would agree with me that
have their lab between October and November 4th. It's almost not worth it to
buy a Cat 5000 or Cisco 3920 for a home lab (even though you could probably
get a little better deal on one right now) because, what happens when you
try to sell it later? No one needs it that is taking their test after Nov.
4th.
I'm just moaning. Has anyone used the 3920 simulation software available?
Also, because by then I'm sure they will have replaced all the Cat 5000's
with the 3550's, does it use the same command set as a 3524 switch?
Thanks in advance for any help,
Bill Mckenzie
