I love the L700's, but after doing a lot of research last year I found that 
Storage-Tek was falling behind the technologies.  The front runners for me was 
SpectraLogic, and Quantum/ADIC.  We ended up with an Quantum i2000 with 10 
LTO4's and 200 slots with plenty of room for future expansion by adding 
additional bays.  The SpectraLogic was a very close second and we went with 
Quantum because we have a DXi7500 that worked well with it using Direct 
Path-To-Tape. The SL3000 wasn't yet available, but from what we were told it 
wasn't going to have all the features we liked in the others.

Either way, I'd definitely suggest looking around.
