I'd suggest that we pick up an additional EX4200 and uplink it at layer2 to the main stack at 2x10G. Then move all of the 1G copper links to the new switch. The current switch could then be a spare, VCed into a 4200 only cluster, or uplinked from another suite. If my math is correct, it will free up some VCP bandwidth and also eliminate the mixed mode configuration.
