We compared them briefly. It depends on what you are looking for. I have 100GB on my f540. If I put that much space on a Sun, it would take forever to boot, esp after a crash.
Since fast recovery was one of the main criteria, the Sun's were discounted. Even with the Veritas FS, it still has some pretty serious flaws.
There are folks out there running big Suns as NFS servers. Not sure how they like it.
