Edge Switch Considerations - 3560CX-8XPD-S

Looking for a stand alone edge switch to terminate an ISP connection and sit between our firewalls. At most, there would be 5 ports used. The speed of the Internet connection wouldn't be any higher than 1Gbps up and down. This switch supports VRF-lite, BGP, has 4x 10 gig ports (2 are mGig), supposedly can achieve line rate speeds, and is fairly inexpensive compared to a c9xxx series. Best of all, I don't have to buy a useless DNA center license.

Link to that datasheet:

Am I crazy for considering this?

Thanks for your help
