    Why are they so much more expensive…

    Because people will pay that much for those features. You can find managed switches for $60 pretty easily. Until you get into the 48port blades they don’t change a whole lot, so the higher prices are typically from different ways to trick you into paying more.

    Some features like line rate, buffers, do add to the cost though.
