Lets suppose I have set up media groups so that hardware conference resources come before software bridge. Furhther suppose I have bumped up the number of participants in CM for the software bridge. It seems to me with this configuration, if the hardware bridge is available, I will never get more than 8 participants, correct?

What hardware? What router model and what modules and DSPs. What do you want to do? Is this for a single site? Or do you have remote sites you want to do hardware conferencing for (so the conference streams don't come over the WAN.)
