Self-quoting here: 

CRS226-24G-2S from Mikrotik is using a new chipset, supposedly. I suspect that more vendors will be releasing configs 
like this if the silicon is becoming more prevalent. The thing has SFP+ ports (10G) which is cool, especially at the 
price point, but overkill.  It has 24x gigabit ports which is definitely overkill, so ideally I can find a slimmer 
switch. :)

List price under $300 looks like.

This guy fits the bill (port config) more closely but also costs 3x more (faster cpu, more ram, etc). 

Neat stuff, either way.
