Why are you so against a switch?

This is going to both SUN and HP lists =
so hopefully I can get comparative 
 feedback. Scenario: pair of SUN E420r =
and pair of HP L2000s. The people
 up the food chain want a single =
terminal to act as console for all four 
 servers. I'm not interested in =
console switches at this stage. I only want 
 to know of gotchas to do with =
keyboard mappings, function keys, VT 
 emulation characteristics etc. An HP =
terminal is already on order but I know 
 they have a design all of their own. =
The question is if anyone has already 
 tried this, "would you recommend =
trying to run a SUN using an HP terminal 
 and vice versa?"

On a personal note the key layout on =
the HP terminals drives me nuts
 but it's someone elses chequebook. =
;-)
