Fortunately as an HEI, i won't have reason to be competing ;-). Standard is
known, but reality on ground is usually a factor to some organisation
(especially non-ISPs). In a typical HEI in our region, most back-ups are
actually devices in use in less density/critical areas, so a failure at a
critical zone could mean a temporary(or permanent) outage at the less
critical regions ;-)

While an ISP engineer would not worry about doing a gear swap from its
inventory, a typical HEI engineer would wonder if the present could at
least serve pending the replacement approval/procurement of a new one.
However as activities in institutions become more technology driven,
justifications to have more flexibility in backup inventory would occur and
an HEI engineer will be glad.
