At a cost-per-port measured as a fraction of Cisco's, I'd be crazy not to.
But remember the bad old days, when "no-one ever got fired for buying IBM"? Seems Cisco is the new IBM, illogically holding top networking position year after year.
Enterasys, it must be said, also offer the lifetime warranty, and also with on-site swap out, also coming back to collect the faulty unit after you have done the (usually after-hours) replacement, so they are also worth a close look.
But my money would still be with the hp kit - really really nice boxes to work with, and the management software that is bundled with them blows me away.

I am hoping that they will branch out into the consumer market as well.
They confrom to IEEE standards and definitions.
They don't create proprietary protocols.
They have reasonable certification costs.
They offer free software updates.
They are the only networking gear to date that is on the ISS (International Space Station) because there equipment could handle the elevated radiation levels. Take that Cisco.
