Unexciting update: Not enough space for the Pro Max. Maybe if I rearrange everything, but that’s more of a holiday break thing than a right now thing. I’m also looking at a Cisco WS-C2960L-16PS-LL which doesn’t do 2.5 GbE but seems pretty okay otherwise. Looks like a lot of clean used ones out there for well under $100, so maybe a better option for right now.

Hmm, that looks interesting. Expensive but same (or cheaper) than my two-switch options. Off to measure up the physical space…
