A 7606-S can be purchased refurbished for like 90% off list price. The market is seriously glutted with them.

Not sure the OP was talking about 7600s. They're mostly End-of-Life, and not in any way suited to the OP's requirements (MLAG missing, low density, nothing like Arista 7280) If the Cisco refurb route is available, N7K is probably obtainable through those channels. You'd be surprised what companies lease and then throw back for whatever reason. And in relation to Brocade: I'd feel very uncomfortable throwing any *new* money at MLXe, CER or CES. Strategy for those families seems to have fallen off of a cliff. -- Tom
