GNS3 or Cisco CML

Hi,

I'm looking to build a virtual lab to test scenario's/upgrades for our datacenter setup (3 fortigate firewall stacks, 10 switch stacks cisco/arista/Mellanox/HP/Lenovo).
I have already started setting up a GNS server, while I discovered Cisco CML. I gave it a test drive and seem pretty neat, and seems to have most features GNS has. So no I'm a bit undecided which route to go.

Is there any reason not to go for CML? CML seems a lot more user friendly than GNS, but I'm afraid it has limited support for non-cisco devices, especially stuff like Mellanox and Lenovo.

Thanks!
