asterisk users - Oct 2008 - Asterisk and Cisco Call Manager Express (CME)

I was thinking about complicating my Voip setup by adding CME. I found
this example here:
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+Cisco+CallManager+Express+Integration
and here: http://www.pasewaldt.com/cme/cme_index.htm

Would anyone like to comment on their experiences using CME with Asterisk...

I would like one of my Cisco phones to remain SIP connected directly
to my Asterisk system. The second phone I would like to revert back
from SIP and connect it to CME and then CME to Asterisk. Is this
reasonable or is it a huge pain in the rear?

Dare I ask why you want to do this?

Cheaper than buying an AIM-CUE? And certainly more flexible.
