Network Design

I saw a thread about multiple SANs on a network and wondered about my own setup and the direction I'm going.

I currently have 3 EqualLogics all in the same group but different pools:

Pool1 - Management Volumes (Primary), File and SQL Cluster Volumes

Pool2 - Management Volumes (Secondary), SyncRep File and SQL Cluster Volumes

Pool3 - Workload Volumes

Each Pool has a single member but Pool3 I am planning to consolidate and add 2 additional members to it.

That would be 5 members in a single group.

Networking I've got 2 switches with VRRP configured with a 20GB LAG between them (2x10GB)

From there I go to the first M1000e Chassis1-A1 with another 20GB LAG to switch 1 above, then I go from A1 to A2 with a 20GB LAG and then from A2 to M1000e Chassis2-A1 and from A1 to A2 and then A2 to switch 2 above.

Should I maybe move to 40GB with a 4-port LAG between ToR switches and the M1000e chassis with that many EQL members?
