Its a neat parlor trick but where redundancy is concerned a greater number of smaller circuits trumps one expensive big one. This may be a very limited application creation for linking scientific entities who move massive volumes of data. From a more traditional network perspective smaller circuits in bundles has become the norm, especially when you want to have multiple connections to different providers for redundancy.
