Cisco vs Arista cost comparison

If you have multi-vendor environment (Cisco and Arista) then you can probably help me in getting this cost comparison. I am trying to compare total cost of ownership for a data center switch (with 3 year of support) between these two vendors. We are a Cisco shop as far as routing and switching is concerned. I am trying to understand where does Arista stand in terms of cost for a comparable DC switch. For comparison purpose we can assume a switch with 48 10GE ports and 4 40GE UL ports. Also assuming we are not including any orchestration system or other fancy management software costs. I am not looking for any detailed analysis, just a ballpark number like if Arista would be x percent cheaper/expensive etc.

Thanks,
