Had a look at the 8201 (Q100), but then the 8201-32FH (Q200) seemed like a much better choice.
Newer, better chip (twice TCAM so better route scale, more future-proof), less power (7nm), cheaper.
All 32 ports are the same QSFP56-DD, so no restrictions like on the 8201 for QSFP28 ports due to reverse gearboxes like in the 8201. (regarding breakouts)
