Price would be the big thing I'd think of.  But like anything, it will
depend on your deployment model.  What are you looking for in your switch?
What's important to you?

They're cool switches though!

Because it's expensive compared to possible alternatives outside J-Land,
including, but not limited to, Force-10.
