There is approximately 90% overlap in features between the two. As Adrian pointed out, there are some significant differences. That said, remember those 90%. My recommendation for you would be to get at least one, if not two 3560s and use 3550s for the rest.
Of course, having your own rack is excellent, but can also be inconventient and expensive to run. You may want to get in touch with our Training Advisors about rack time. -- Marko Milivojevic - CCIE #18427 Senior Technical Instructor - IPexpert YES!
