EMC Powerpath v. Sun MPXIO for reliable duel attached fibre SAN?

If you ask EMC about reliable dual attached SAN and HBA fail-over they will
insist that the only way to do it is to use Powerpath and possibly Veritas
Volume Manager. Yet within Solaris you can, as far as I can understand from
the documentation, get the same functionality using MPXIO and possibly SVM.

On the server the EMC solution is hugely expensive, the Sun solution is
free.

Has anybody compared the two solutions in a real world situation and can
share their observations?

I'll summerise. Thanks.
