10G L3 switch with more than 16K BGP routes?

I'm looking for a 10G switch with support for BGP. The catch is I'd like to buy one that can take a medium amount of routes and not just 16K.

The Arista 7050QX series looks to fit the bill. Using UFT mode it appears to be able to take 144K IPv4 routes. For my use case / PoC IPv4 is sufficient.

The DCS-7050QX-32S model seems to go for about a grand on eBay, which isn't too bad.

Is the Arista a good choice? Any caveats with UFT mode? Should I be looking for something else? Something cheaper or something with more routes per dollar? Suggestions? Warnings? Recommendations?

Thanks!
