>From a functionality standpoint, twinax works just fine. We're tying our FEXes back into our 5k cores using them, and they work well enough. Personally, I hate the twinax form factor. The cables are thick as hell compared with fiber, and we've had several of the connections break in high-volume racks. That said, I think the connections that broke were from stupidly cheap third party manufacturers, so take that for what its worth. If you're deploying those switches in a location where the cables aren't going to get mucked with and you're not stuffing your cable management arms to the breaking point, they'll work just fine.
