Thanks for the input so far. I have found a Cisco Catalyst 4948-S to be less expensive on ebay than two 3750G-24 (and both options are far cheaper than any Juniper EX on ebay).
So the benefit of a 4948 would be bigger buffers (and therefore less problems from microbursts), the benefit of a pair of 3750Gs would be that I don't have to buy them at once and I have some redundancy. So I think I would prefer the 4948 at the moment.
