There are many places to put a switch. Top of rack is one of them.

Sure. But what about options on ports? Stacked gives you that.
Especially the 10G 80K lasers.

4948 switching capacity and actual 10 gig throughput is better, I'll
agree with that. But four ports of ten is never enough..

So at this point, it's a still a trade off. It depends on what's best
for your situation :-)
