I generally agree, but I was leaning towards consumer grade this time primarily for noise reasons. Enterprise class gear is just noisy as heck, and I am trying to keep the noise levels down in my home office. It's already pretty loud with the Proliants. Enterprise class switches with SFP+ modules are usually loud as heck, and expensive - you have to buy the SFP+ modules in addition to the switches. That adds up pretty quick for a home lab. Gotta keep the bride happy, you know?
For short runs, you can use DAC cables; no need for separate SFP+ modules. FS.com has 2m 10G DAC cables for $14.
