cPacket Networks versus Gigamon

Does anyone here have hands on experience with cPacket Networks cVu hardware and are you able to give a comparison of it versus Gigamon? Pro's/con's? We are looking at a possible POC of cPacket Networks cVu 160NG for spanning traffic from Cisco Nexus 7009 (Core and DIST VDC's) and multiple Cisco Nexus 5548's (Internet, DIST for FEX'es, and MWAN) as well a tapping (4) AT&T SIP circuits and off-loading to multiple tools (LiveAction, Lancope StealthWatch, tcpdump packet capture server, Samplicator engine, etc). Gigamon is sooooo pricey and the cPacket Networks hardware includes a lot of what the Gigamon folks charge extra for (de-dupe, Netflow, packet slicing).
