The virtualization capabilities of the Nexus 7K are very useful in situations like that. I'll give you the fact that it has a ton of marketing around it, and that the marketing is out of control.

I sat in on a Nexus session and the presenter basically pitched it as something none of us were likely to care about today but was nevertheless something to be aware of. I guess I have to agree with him. None of my clients require that kind of density and even fewer could afford it. Add to that the fact that this is a first-generation offering likely to disappoint on several levels. Working on the high-horsepower stuff is fun but I'm not sure how I feel about a single piece of networking gear whose value can exceed that of my own home...
