Upgrade Time - Looking for some feedback

We're going to be moving into a new space in the near future and are taking the opportunity for a fresh start in terms of building up the networking aspect of our gear. Just wanted to get some feedback/thoughts/ideas in regards to Brocade vs Juniper, or if there might be another option I'm not considering.

Current consultant has proposed the following:

Server Room: Brocade VDX6740T as a core switch (80G to main closet)

Main Closet: Brocade VDX6740T (80G to core switch) + Brocade ICX7450-48 (10gbe uplink to VDX)

This would yield 48x 1gbe, 16x 10gbe on closet VDX, 16x 10gbe on core VDX.

Total Cost: ~$33k (including optics, etc), if we go refurb, closer to ~$20k
Future Cost: Licenses to unlock 8 ports at a time as demand increases

I've looked into a Juniper solution:

Server Room: EX4550-32T-AFI as a core switch (2x 80G to main closet)

Main Closet: 2x EX4550-32T-AFO (80G uplinks to core switch) + repurpose existing 48x 1gbe switch

This would yield 64x 10gbe ports at the main closet.

Total Cost: ~$20k (including optics, etc)

Just looking at the above would have me leaning towards the Juniper solution as it gives quite a bit more bang for the buck. Am I missing something here?

Thanks in advance.
