We're a small K-12, but we're moving from Cisco 4507R to a Juniper 4500/4200 Virtual Stack at the core (we're also moving from Cisco 3550s to Juniper 3200/4200 at the edge). We're moving from 1Gb to 10Gb building links (upgrading over time). Cisco didn't even make the final round of considerations for us. Not sure if we're too small of a shop, but they had no interest in meeting our initial price/feature requirements, so we dropped them from consideration. Juniper kept the price under control by moving us from the 8200 to the 4500/4200 stack (still plenty of bandwidth for our needs, but much less expensive than a full-blown chassis).
Now that we have the Juniper gear on-site, I couldn't be happier. The interface is a dream compared to IOS, and the transition between platforms hasn't been too bad.
