What do you expect for $300 right?

4 SFP+, with a stable OS that can move VLANs around simply with trunks and
VLAN access supported. I don't need much super fancy, but a 1RU form factor
with rack mounting would be nice. A selection of 1Gb copper ports
obviously. Remote ssh (or telnet if I have to) would be appreciated - not
GUI please.

Biased answer as well, but have a look at Ciena's 3930/3942 depending on
how many 1G ports you want.
