I'd love to know what model Juniper you are getting for $102 per 10GbE port and where you are getting it. The lowest-end 10GbE switch is the EX4600, which lists at more like $850 per port. You can get higher-end ones with much larger port counts and get the cost/port down to about half that, but I can't imagine what you could be talking about for $102/port. I would kill for a 24-port 10GbE Juniper switch for ~$2,500. You can't even get a 24-port 1GbE for that.
a single asic trident+ switch with 56 10Gb/s ports is in the neighborhood of 5k, less in volume... trident 2 is more. lopping ports off doesn't make the asic any cheaper.

An SFP+ 10K w/ DOM is running me a little under $34. An SFP+ port runs me slightly over $102.

The same is true for the optics. 2.5 and 4 Gbit/s SFP modules are available and cheap. It is just that ethernet ports will not take advantage of the extra speed. So it is only useful on fibrechannel ports. It would be an improvement if we can get 2.5 or 4 Gbit/s ethernet on SFP instead of paying for an all SFP+ switch. Regards, Baldur
