10G WAN Switches recommendation

Hi,

We are looking for new WAN switches as we plan to go for 10G ISP in the near future.

In our datacenter we use ArubaCX series, but the price for 2 x (Aruba 6300M 24SFP+ ) seems a little steep for a switch where we will use 5-6 ports and only basic functionality.

The requirements are:

  1. Minimum 10 SFP+ ports
  2. Dual Power Supply
  3. VLAN support
  4. LACP support

I have found a 2 options that fit my requirements and do not break the bank:

FS S5860-20SQ

https://www.fs.com/de-en/products/108710.html

MikroTik CRS326-24S+2Q+RM

https://mikrotik.com/product/crs326_24s_2q_rm

For me the specs seem fine on above switches.

I have no experience with FS / MikroTik so would like to know if i should stay away from them or if its good enough.

Any advice is apricated.

Thanks
