Yes, the CES/CER2000 NetIron boxes were the ones we looked at that were capable for the job. I know they had modular options that could take additional XFP-based 10Gbps line cards, but overall, the 10Gbps port density is low. Ultimately, if you want a decent-sized and reasonably priced 10Gbps-capable Metro-E switch that will mostly work, the ACX5000 is going to be hard to beat. What you need to think about is whether you can live without some of the features the Broadcom chip won't support. Most networks might, but I can't speak for them.
