We're looking to buy a new tape library and the MSL 8096 is a favorite so far 
with the IBM TS 3310 being a close second. Also looked at the Sun SL500 but 
they are a mavbe due to Sun's financial problems. HP and IBM are doing OK.

For pricing we were quoted about the same for each one with the difference 
being IBM support is 3 times HP support. 

We know we can't upgrade the HP, but pricewise it's the same to buy another 
8096 compared to buying a new expansion for the TS 3310 and 2 drives.

Looking for any opionions if anyone has used it.
