That's what I get for not keeping up with that product line. I think price difference might also vary according to what kind of discounts people's vendors can get them. Looking around I don't see that much of a price difference between the two units though the SLX is lower priced. About the only real technical advantage I see with the Aristas are that they have generally been rather free of bugs and the mLAG seems to be a little better suited to our environment than the MCT of the Brocade line. That said, I wouldn't turn down a chance to try out one of those SLX units.
