Though the above features (kept from your list) are interesting (the probe 
backup is an intriguing RFE that got shoehorned in), this item from the release 
notes gives me serious pause:

LGTsc24548
Due to a Solaris 10 operating system issue, asynchronous tape input/output 
operations are disabled by default. As a result, some I/O intensive operations 
such as cloning will be slower.

There's also the note that an all LDAPS (SSL LDAP) environment can't run the 
NMC Server on Solaris if you intend to use LDAP.  That could be a deal-breaker 
for now here, and will require clarification with Sun (once they have their own 
media release of course :) ).

There's an additional caveat of course:  This release requires another Update 
enabler license (this would make two for me, if I went this route).
