Hi Matthias,
at the University of Bern, we are replacing our current Enterasys/Extreme/Brocade/Ruckus gear by Extreme Network models. For core/distribution/ToR, we opted for the 7400 and 5520 series with VOSS (Fabric engine) and so far, we are quite happy with the choice. The 5520-24x could fit your requirements - 10G copper is feasible with copper plugins. (max. 50% of copper plugins supported due to heat discipation) BTW, we use a mix of „original“ and Fexoptix plugins.
Hope this helps - otherwise feel free to give me a call.
Cheers,
Philipp
