Nexus vs QFX

We have been planning to purchase a pair of QFX5120's as part of a datacenter build / migration. However we have been having some issues with our SRX4100 cluster and TAC has been pretty bad. Frankly or experience with Junipers TAC has been pretty bad over all, very time consuming and rarely a real solution. So far all of our experience has been with the SRX and EX platforms. This has pretty badly shaken or faith in Juniper as a solution for our datacenter, as we will not have immediate physical access to the devices. As such have almost decided to go Cisco Nexus 93180 as in general our experience with Cisco TAC has been much better.

I'm curious if the QFX series devices bring anything that great to the table that we should still consider them? Overall I prefer the Junos OS CLI to Cisco's various flavors, but the number of errors that require physical access to clear is off putting.
