Isn't the regen seperate from the speed ie layer 1 and vs dwdm/lambda?

You can run the same distance as you do with your 10G system. 
It;s mostly driven by dispersion, crosstalk and snr if you have many
amps. Milage varies with span design, but is not much different than
10G (as the symbol speed is till 10G).

Yepp..
