Yeah, I had a big network file copy/move recently that really brought down my normal BBS/server operations and that motivated me to count the cost again (I was expecting to at least move up to 2.5 or 5Gb) - I was pleasantly surprised to see the 10GBase-T switch prices have come down to Earth and the MikroTik does appear to be a quality piece of gear even though it's consumer grade.
I've bought so much tech gear over the past 40 years that ends up worthless and in a landfill (or my closet, I'm slow to throw out stuff I think I might use again one day), I try to buy new tech only when prices have come down considerably.
