Chassis/Backplane Style Cisco IOS switch to replace 6509E

Hi All,

I have a site in the field that needs 120 ports on their core switch. I've specced out three 2960X's with stack cables for them, but they are rejecting it because they prefer backplane/chassis style, like the 6509E. However, 6509E and 6807-XL are both EoL. Does anyone know what the non-Nexus style successor is? 9400 looks like it fits the bill, but it's way too cheap. I am seeing refurb 6509E's for more money than a new 9400, so I'm clearly missing something.

Has to be Cisco btw. We don't field anything else. Company policy.
