JBossCache 3 vs Oracle Coherence

I'm looking at both products right now. If anyone has real world comparative experience, please chime in.

My initial impression is that Coherence has a more sophisticated replication scheme that eliminates the need for all data to be replicated to all nodes; this probably helps them to get closer to true linear scalability.

My other impression is that Coherence is insanely expensive. Their cheapest edition is $4600 per processor; whoa!

Hibernate and JBossCache

While attempting to move from EHCache to JBossCache I was having a hard time finding information or documentation. Then I found this: http://galder.zamarreno.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/hibernate-jbosscache-guide.pdf

It took me almost two hours to stumble across this, hopefully this saves someone some time.
