2509 vs 2509-rj vs 2511

I am looking to buy an access server for my ccna lab, I am lookign at getting a 2509.
Whats better to get; the regular 2509 with just the serial ports + an octal cable, or the 2509-rj which already has the 8-rj45 ports built in?

I am leaning towards the RJ version.

Pros , Cons (other than price)?

Regards,
Ryan

The main advantage of the RJ interface version is you can do custom cabling. If you have lots of large devices in multiple racks, you can still use the one access server.

For a home lab it may not be worth the extra money, unless you have your lab equipment spread out over a larger area.
