[AusNOG] 3rd Party SFP+ Optics

[Joseph Goldman]

My personal obvious thought would be Vendor Support - if you were having 
a problem even slightly related to the 10G port/SFP+ module, your vendor 
would likely start passing the buck to them.

Cheaper vendors tend not to have great support.

So you can get stuck in a situation without support from anyone in the 
worst of cases.
