Is this an opinion or from experience?  And can you give examples?  We are
currently a Dell show and are looking to buy around 200k worth of servers.
We can save around 40k to 50k by going with Dell.  So is it really worth
that much to go with IBM?  What does IBM bring to the table for that much?

FYI:  Reason I'm not mentioning HP is because if I was going to switch from
Dell I would go IBM.  Mainly due to their long history and I like the fill
and management of their Blades.
