Yeah, I can't argue with that.  If it has no appreciable QoS impact and 
you don't see it as a cost barrier at your level and size, then, just do 
whatever works.

In discussions where it's more relevant, it's always about cost and QoS, 
generally in that order.  I cannot and will not pay for 10x more 
bandwidth just 'cause it makes me feel good about how 100% well-served 
every one of my customers' CPE devices is and how harmonious it all 
feels.  Money's on the table.
