We have worked through the same train of thought.  We are eventually going to 
move to all DD as it's integration is a lot better with Networker.

The downside to individually managing the Avamar grids is now you have 10 
different interfaces to manage instead of one.  This is why we integrated 
Avamar with Networker as we have 30+ grids (a lot of remote sites) and managing 
them each individually was getting impossible. The single pane of glass that 
Networker provides us made the management of our environment much easier.

Sure - you a right. 
It is interesting (frustrating) to see how fast one can forget. We just 
switched from Avamar to DD just about 6 month ago ..
