Hello,
Totally, agree with what you have mentioned, integrating VTL in any 
existing enviroment is a chalange and not a peice of cake as what some may 
think.
Paramount are design considerations, number of Devices, Storage nodes, 
cloning etc, other software vendors may have edge in regards to how they 
handle cloning , i.e dual copy etc, vs networkers cloning.
Jbconfig could consume lot of time along with fighting with Device and OS 
as the number of devices increase, so does configuration errors and 
posibilities.
I am sure there are ways around it, especially,with new look of Networker 
GUI and config Wizard might help you configure the devices easier.
VTL itself is easy to configure and assign in most cases, you may want to 
definatly look at products maturity, support etc before buying.
My advice is keep it as simple as possible vs trying to configure too much 
to start with.
