Well, our stance on Nexus is "it's a BU that is totally decoupled from 
all the other BUs, so we could as well just use a different vendor".

... and if Nexus actually wins after comparing to what other vendors 
have to offer (and we've not seen anything to convince us), bring it in
as you would do any other new vendor: lots of labbing, training expenses,
etc.

For us, we did not find *any* reason to choose Nexus.  For L2 switching
with high port densities we went to Juniper EX series instead...
