If you prefer IOS to NX-OS then the 4500-X will give you 16 (or more) 1/10
Gb SFP+ ports

It depends on price and if you want more L3 features, where the Catalyst
4500 has the edge, or if you are attracted by the Nexus FCoE capability, or
perhaps the ability to add fabric extenders to increase the port density of
the N5k especially in a top-of-rack type deployment.
