Have a look to Extreme Network X480 Series...

They are really good stuff... but you will get only 6 XFP + 10 10/100/1000.

Features are good, really good... Price is not too high, IPv6 are 100% OK, just avoid full ipv4 + ipv6 views until june (according to them) in BGP.

I really love their new switches (older model around 2000 was not a good idea, they changed almost everything)...
