    As long as both media severs are using same media type and are both carrying the same load you got a fine candidate for media sharing.

    I can't recall any cons for using media sharing - but on the other side the win is not massive in a environment like yours. You will see a smaller number of partial full media. But hey - everything  that makes our days easier are gladly accepted :-D 

    You can always disable media sharing again if it troubles you...
