<div>At a glance the EX4300 appears better in terms of everything (including value) than EX4200 ? Am I missing something? </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>(it appears ex4300 can not 'virtual chassis it with ex4200 devices, if that is important ..)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Be interesting in anyone's opinion that has 4300's in the field.</div>

<div dir="ltr">Hi Rhys,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Any reason you're looking at the EX3300/EX4300 over the 32/4200? You may find them better value/featureset for your dollar.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Cheers,</div>

In my own personal experience, the Brocade CLI is Cisco like, but<br>
annoyingly nothing like it. Sometimes what you instinctively think you<br>
should be able to do, you cant. You cant assume a book has the same<br>
contents based on its cover in this particular scenario, but I guess<br>
like any other vendor its just a matter of learning the differences.<br>

>> I'm looking for people's recommendations that could be given to pick one over the other, as I'm having a tough time deciding. Based on the technical specs, and feature listings of both sets of hardware, I can't find a major technical reason to pick one over
the other - they are mostly pretty closely matched for what we need. So I'm more focused on trying to find out what people's experiences are generally, so I can get a "safety in numbers" sort of approach.<br>

<a href="http://www.allegro.net" target="_blank">www.allegro.net</a> and Juniper had the most complete automation/api, so we went with those guys. It’s good stuff. We use netconf over ssh rather than their orchestration abstraction stuff (like Space) but
I like it.<br>
