Perhaps check out Arista. If you’re willing to run two switches as a stack, the 7280 would work great for this. 256k MAC/ARP and 128k IPv6 neighbor cache with 48 SFP+, but depending on model, you have QSFP+/QSFP100/MXP ports that you can use to gain more 10gig ports, so potentially up to 72

Biggest issue is buffer space. 3750X has 2750KB shared between 24 GE ports. Switch models starting with 29XX are similar or worse. 3650 and 3850 show 12MB shared between 48 ports (http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/switches/catalyst-3650-series-switches/qa_c67-729531.html). I
