Based on my research, we have these:

Aruba S2500-48P
Brocade ICX6450-48p

Which is better between the two? In eBay, I see that the Brocade is cheaper. And by default, it has 2 SFP+ ports that are not enabled for 10GbE. I'm reading that a simple CLI command is what's needed to enable these for 10GbE. Is this accurate?

How about the Aruba S3500, is it better than the S2500? Or are there better Brocade switches out there?
