> Any clue if Nexus is better than VSS?

vPC is not necessarily better than VSS, just different. Be aware that there
are a large number of design caveats around both and you're best to read the
documentation (and blogs and everything else) before making an informed
decision. Having been on the receiving end of a number of those caveats in
the vPC space, my personal preference (if the design allows for it) is VSS
but YMMV. There are cases where VSS simply isn't possible (i.e. you need
features in the Nexus space) and so you have to work with what you get.

If you meet someone who tells you that vPC is simple, walk away and find
someone who knows that they're talking about.
