I would also argue that a large part of the appeal of something like some of the newer "prosumer" Netgear switches is also the far lower standby power use and zero noise. Most of the big used enterprise switches tend to have very loud fans, as well as "idle" (before plugging any devices in) power draw upwards of 40-50 watts. If you don't mind those two factors, then yes, they are generally much cheaper than new equipment, and will likely be dead stone reliable in a home environment. YMMV, and personal choices....
