Hi Peter,
When using open source which has fee options, I've always found that
having a trained crew on board being the key as a primary line of
defense with professional services being supplementary or the second
line of defense.
Even with Cisco support, having at least an CCNP on board helps out
tremendously.
I've justified and had great experiances dealing with Samba and the
Haxx (cURL guys) professional services even though for the most part
I've had the staff that can handle most problems quickly.
Just my 2 cents.
