One thing to keep in mind is that neither the Arista nor the Brocade TurboIron are store and forward, they are both "cut through" switches which means they use less buffering for a given amount of traffic. Basically, a packet is already going out the egress interface before it is even completely received on the ingress interface.
Strickly speaking when mixed 1Gb/10Gb configurations are supported (as the original poster was requesting) cut-through forwarding no-longer works.
I have them (TI24X) in production and they work ok. They are lacking some features of the larger switches, though. No MRP or stp-group stuff. But they are a decent switch for the price. George
