I respectfully disagree with the phrase 'little usefulness'. The 2500
has a LOT of usefulness in studying 80%-90% of the lab exam topics. It's
only *some* of the newer commands that it won't do (12.2T commands).
This is not to say you wouldn't need to be aware of the 12.2T changes
and need some practice time. However, these new commands are NOT the
core of the lab exam, by any means.
I think for many people it will be very cost effective to complete as
much of their studies and practice labs as possible on a rack of
inexpensive 2500 routers. They can add one or two 2600 series to
practice the new 12.2T commands or simply rent some rack time.
