I don't know anything about the AIT-3 drives, but I don't think they can be 
used in a L700 library.

And I think that people that use 9940B wouldn't trade them for any other 
drive. They are rock solid and stable. Haven't had a restore error on them 
(or the 9940A) and we have used them since they came to the market.

But they cost more then a LTO2 drives. At least "up front". In the long run 
the 9940B will save you money over the LTO2 drives.
And if you have large tapepools I know of installations that even ended up 
paying less for a 9940B solution compared to LTO2 based only on the initial 
investment.

And if you are planning to had your tapedrives running 24 hours a day LTO2 
(and all other drives except 9840 and 3590) will take that kind of load in 
the long run.

Another great thing about the 9940B's (and also 9840B's) are that you can 
get them in native FC versions. No SCSI to FC bridge.
