The FWSM, like most service modules list at $29,995 last I ever looked.
Soooo... Maybe not that bad, but the 6500 gives you lots more flexibility
in modules to tie WAN, Security, Content and other stuff into you LAN
switch!

Cyrus,
What type of org, how many ports, do you additional modules for the chassis.
The FWSM can run more than $50,000 - so can a pair of PIX 525's or their ASA
counterparts.
Nearly every option for the 6500 can be had for a much cheaper alternative
in the Cisco line of products.
Do you need extreme bw or is there just a perception?
What do you have now?
What problem is it going to solve?
