Thanks Andrew - The Nexus do look nice...The 5010/5020 are EOL'd correct?(But
still able to get smartnet on them?)....Is there a significant price point
difference between these and the 5548(P?)
If the Nexus are heinously expensive, I might look at the 4500's as you
suggest.....or perhaps the 4900's?(I do require 6+ SFP for fibre connections
though)
Cheers.

We currently use 3750x stack to terminate pairs of 2960S(TOR's) - Our traffic
is quite bursty, and we are getting hit with the small buffers (output
drops)...any suggestions on alternative platforms? (We only do L2 on the
current switches)
6503's w/ VSS?
4500x w/ VSS?
Nexus w/ Vpc?
If you only want to do layer 2, you could also look at a pair of Nexus 5Ks and
run VPC - or look at other vendors.
Do you really need two chassis/ VSS? 4500s don't have VSS yet, so you could
possibly get away with a 4500 - possible a second 4500 as a cold spare.
