Shut up and take my money!

The new version J0 syncinjectors which will be available shortly after
wispamerica (and may end up with a slightly different name to reflect
their more 'universal' powering capability) do what you're talking
about, other than the redundant power and hot swappability.
That is: two power rails, jumper selectable per port as far as which
rail to power from, jumper selectable pair configuration and up to 1A
per port (which means the same device will do canopy, ubnt, mikrotik,
airfiber etc.).
Assuming we don't end up with an unexpected board spin, I expect 45-60
days, preorders to begin probably 30 days from now.
The 12 port din will follow probably around 60 days after that. There
won't be a lot of per-port savings, just a bit of added density (12
ports in the same space as two 4 port units would occupy if they were
mounted next to each other on a DIN rail).
There is also a rackmount unit definitely on the roadmap. The delay
right now is finding a enclosure manufacturer, but I am currently
following several leads, as this is one of my top priorities as I
fully realize that that is important to many of my customers.
In relation to the redundant power: Almost all of the redundantly
powered devices out there simply use two diodes to perform the
redundancy function. None of the circuitry that is actually likely to
fail is actually redundant. If you're simply wanting to make sure
that the devices can be powered from either of two sources, then that
can be accomplished with the two diodes I mentioned above.
