EX4600 is nice, but it's not cheap. Yes, you can create a VC using the 40Gbps interfaces (or the 10Gbps interfaces). You may consider the older EX4550 if you are trying to save money.
I'm actually looking for something similar.. I have a few of the CRS317-1G-16S+RM in stock, but tbh, I'm a little scared to use them, and I'm also not looking forward to the miserable L2 config on CRS. I really just need 4-6 SFP+ interfaces for this particular application. The Cisco Nexus 3064 is another cheap/old option, but seems to work fine for L2 access (servers, etc).
