What features do you need? "Switching" or "full L3 routing"? And
if routing, how large the table?

We've moved to Arista for the "1RU, lots of 10/25GE ports, MLAG"
places in our network, and we are very happy. Stuff works like a
breeze - and if it doesn't (we found a bug with IPv6 and OSPFv3,
of course) ATAC is really pleasant to work with.
The only negative aspect so far: for "mostly the same hardware",
Arista pricepoint is slightly above Juniper (7050SX* vs. EX4600/QFX5120
etc.) - but especially the time saved with niceties like "MLAG that just
works" has been worth the extra CAPEX already.
