The EX4600 is actually just a shy cheaper than the EX4550. We are
looking at it not because the EX4550 is a bad box, but because Juniper
are focusing development on the EX4600 instead (much like Cisco are
doing between the ME3600X and ASR920).
You lose 8x ports on the EX4600, though, if coming from the EX4550. May
or may not be an issue for you.
I wouldn't look at the EX4500. Too big and old now.
Mark.
