Hi Stefan and Martin,
Thanks very much for the quick responses!
Lot's of interesting and relevant info!
The arista option looks interesting, but those will not use the UTP
ethernet cabling that we currently use.
But given prices, perhap we should perhaps look into changing our cables
from UTP to SFP+, I guess?
Will check it out.
Thanks again!

My idea is to add two stacked 10G ethernet switches to the setup, so
we can start using lacp bonded networking over two physical switches.
Looking around, we can get refurb Cisco Small Business 550X for around
1300 euro. We also noticed that mikrotik and TP-Link have some even
nicer-priced 10G switches, but those all lack bonding. :-(
Therfore I'm asking here: anyone here with suggestions on what to look
at, for nice-priced 10G stackable switches..?
Just to note: stacking support does not necessarily also means MCLAG
(LACP over multiple switches). I believe the Cisco's do support it.
Sometimes stacking is nothing more than a management feature, i.e. able
to manage the switches as it was one switch. So be sure to check if LACP
over multiple chassis is supported.
Gr. Stefan
