I think I'd agree with Dave, it is a nice offer and would be useful if we think we'll have many more 1G members over copper but our growth lately is in 10G ports.
We'll probably know more as our next-generation switch-fabric plans evolve, worst-case the financials require us to expand the current generation of hardware to buy time while we do a round of fundraising...
At the moment our unassigned ports in the main switch stack are:
8x10G SFP+, plus an expansion module slot that could add 4 more 10G SFP+ ports.
6x1G copper ports, and 1x1G SFP port
Cheers,

I think we have sufficient 1G ports, but if we did need additional 1G
ports they would be useful for that. So, I'm not sure it provides much
relief in the current situation. The most useful intermediate solution
would be an additional EX4500 or EX4550. That would give us enough 10g
for several months.
