Gosh Steve,

I don't have any hard core ammo, just beliefs! I would be very interested in
any info you get that is factual though (hint hint to respondents!)

My guess is that it should not matter. However there is always the fact, why
take the chance on an unknown with the possibility of having more serious
problems later. Try to get competition pricing before you submit the request
so you can better counter any concerns. 'Yea, this is $500 more expensive,
however the possibility of non-compatibility could run us $2,000'. Something
along that line.

OK Tech-ies, we anxiously await your expertise!!
