We are talking about 1 to 2 cab density here so capex doesn't carry that much weight.

Having a little headroom on your power circuits is also incredibility important, and not every facility will sell 100% rated breakers. It may make more sense to be in a facility with 80% rated breakers than 100%, even with the added capex of an extra PDU or two.

Goes back to my previous comment. What is important to you, at the pod / multiple pod level, isn't as important to the 1-2 cab deployment.

That's fair and accurate.

Similarly, ensure spare room in the cabinet for adjustments, that thing you forgot, and small growth. Much better to have 70% full and not need the space then to have no free RU and need the space.
