OTV too expensive - Using VXLAN for L2 Extension via DCI instead?

Afternoon Everyone - Working on a project to bring online a second datacenter and a DCI back to our primary site. We are going to have a L2 Psuedo-wire between the two sites, and I was originally hoping to terminate that connection into N7K's on both ends, and use OTV for the L2 extension.

Unfortunately, even refurb'd N7K's will be north of $60K, which won't be possible for this project.

So I'm now looking into using VXLAN on some N9K's to accomplish the same goals. Has anyone had success with this?
