Well the CRS 3xx line is actually their best so far. I've noted at
least 4 ways to set up VLAN's on a Mikrotik and in any given scenario 3
of them are wrong. On the 3xx use Bridge->VLAN and enable VLAN
filtering on your bridge interface. That is the only platform where the
bridge VLAN filtering gets hardware acceleration, and if you did that on
any other model you'd be dependent on the CPU. For CRS 1xx and 2xx you
use Switch->VLAN menu which has different options and capabilities. For
CCR or any of the other router products you can use bridge->VLAN
filtering, but there's still an older method under Interface->VLAN which
also works and you can either add VLAN interfaces to a bridge, or bridge
the VLAN interfaces together. All of these methods are "right" in the
right scenario, and 3 out of the 4 are always wrong.
A stack of those CRS317's was an alternate suggestion made here. Four of
those would cost 1/10th what we'd spend on an EX4600, but I'm kind of
sick of that whole scene.
If you're in Juniper world and you have two different models, how much
different is the command syntax to do the same jobs?

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).

I just eyeballed the Juniper EX4600. Wondering if I can stack
chassis using the 40gig ports.

For the moment just L2: VLAN, ethertype filter, port
isolation.....standard stuff.
I'm assuming Juniper has software for central management? I
poo-poo'd that stuff for a long time, but try to push one
change out to 300 Mikrotiks and spending $10k on management
software starts to look attractive all of a sudden.

What featureset do you need? Just L2? Any L3 features?
Juniper EX is my go-to for most applications.

So who's your preferred vendor for carrier switches?
Suppose you want to break away from buggy Latvian
switches, who would
you look at today?
Ciena? Adtran? Cisco? Juniper?
