N5010 is a 10G switch; the 3750G is a 1G switch, so it's probably not 
surprising that it's more expensive.

Incidentally, if you're planning to use the N5K as a fancy 1G switch, note 
that the system will change the switching mode from cut-through to 
store-n-forward for GE ports; cut-through is only supported for 10G 
transceivers.  This may matter for iSCSI.
