And I'd agree. Why bother with the possible hassle of setting OPS up to get performance when it's a lot easier with RAC? That's not to say you can ignore performance issues just because you've installed RAC, simply that it's far easier to get performance out of RAC than it is OPS. I'd only go with OPS now for those apps that still aren't certified with 9i.
