Managed Layer-2?  Or Managed Layer-3?

And do you want just a few GbE ports on a largely 100Mbit switch?
Or all GbE ports?

When people are strapped for cash, I like the NetGear units.  Not the
best firmware or easiest-to-use interface on the box itself -- but the
bundled web-based interface is typically sufficient for non-network
gurus (after I setup the base configuration via the console interface).

The FSM/GSM are NetGear's managed solutions.  The 7xx are layer-2.  The
73xx are layer-3.
