I just got quotes for an Arista 7280R (48x 10Gbit and 6x 100Gbit) and an
SLX9640. Adding a port license to the 9640 to go to 8x 100G ports the
Arista quote for just the base box (no service, optics, etc.) was 251%
higher.
Maybe I have the wrong sales rep at Arista and the right one at Extreme?

We replaced our Extreme gear with Brocade several years ago. We're

Unless Extreme has massively dropped the price or Arista has massively
increased their prices, there's no reason that equivalent Arista gear
should be 3x the price of an SLX, and that doesn't match up with my
experience.
I ended up with the Arista 7280SR (48-ports of 10G, 6 ports of
short-range 100G in a 1RU fixed configuration) and it's been working well.
