To use VIOS or Not to use VIOS, that is the question

Trying to decide on a new Power7 if I 'want' to run VIOS as the primary and
Guest multiple IBM i partitions that way or use a IBM i as the Primary and
Guest my other IBM i partitions that way. I'm sure somebody out there is
running VIOS on a non-blade PowerSystem. How much complexity does running
VIOS add? I know if I want to Guest Linux and AIX, it's probably the better
way to go, but we aren't there yet. When VIOS and V6 came out there wasn't
full native tape support, has that been solved?

Thoughts?

Thanks
