Difference between Huawei S5720-52X-LI-AC and other Switches

I need to decide for a switch for an extension of our campus network. The plan is to connect switches at two locations with 10Gb/s uplink and have them spit out 1Gb/s via the normal ports.

I have now found several switches that seem to comply with my intention:

  • The Aruba 2930F-48G w/ 4SFP+
  • Huawei S5720-52X-LI-AC
  • Netgear GS752TXS
  • ...

Apart from the Huawei they all cost ~1500 €, the Huawei can be bought for ~600 €. Being in danger of judging a product by its price tag, I wonder why the Huawei is so much cheaper. Is there a wager in the design that I missed? Because on paper, I can't see any difference to the other products.
