The SLX9640 is a 1U box with 24x 10G ports and 12x 100G ports (4
licensed on the base config) with 4 million routes for less than a third
of the price.
I'd love to try Arista but that's what I'm dealing with.

Rack space is the premium with me. A 7280R2K-48C6 gives me 48x10G plus
6x40/100G ports in 1U with 2 million routes vs 7U for an MLX-8.

I just got quotes for an Arista 7280R (48x 10Gbit and 6x 100Gbit)

251%
higher.
Maybe I have the wrong sales rep at Arista and the right one at
Extreme?
