I think that as long as a network upgrade is Hognet only, and still locks the RH down to 4 universes, HighEnd as well as users can only gain by it. Owners with a little more cash and the need could buy a DP2000 and distribute their 4 universes over the network, and in this case it would also give them a backup solution with a laptop running Hpc as well. Not cheap, but in my experience a not unimportant selling point. ( and, now the 8k is out, it might give the dp2000 a longer life ;) )
