I use a ex4550 VC as our TOR for our ESXi / EQL array in one spot, and a
pair of QFX5100-48S in another.
No issues here with either of them. The 5100=B9s have a possibility of being
comparable in price once you add in the VC cards and so forth for a pair
of 4550=B9s. I would get a quote for them both to see, hard to guess without
knowing what kind of deals your VAR can do.
