Cisco vs Arista for a core switch

Wondering what peoples experiences are with going Arista over Cisco for a core switching infrastructure. We're almost exclusively a Cisco shop (route/switch/firewall/collab). I've been introducing alternate technologies very slowly and have decided to take a hard look at Arista for this next upgrade/migration/restructure. Main requirement is 10Gb port density for our main office and 40Gb for site interconnect to our DR facility. Right now I'm comparing between the 7050SX-64 (48x SFP+ and 4x QSFP+) and a C9500-40X-A (40x SFP+ and 2x QSFP+). Qty 2 for whichever is the winner.
