Catalyst 2960-C and 3560-C Series Compact Switches

[e.ciollaro]

Hi experts,

a customer of mine wants a 12 port Cisco switch (no PoE); I'm about to offer a 3560 Compact switch (WS-C3560CX-12TC-S) but  I wonder if there is any difference between the "standard Catalyst" and the compact series. Obviously there is less ports and I guess less feature supported  but is there any difference in the way they are managed ? For example the CLI is the same of standard Catalyst ? 

There is something else to consider ?

Thank you for your help,

enrico
