Better off spending more for a managed Cisco PoE switch?

Can get a managed SF302-08MPP for about $150 all in. Gigabit uplink. Am I better off going that route or just a normal 8 port 10/100 Bv Tech PoE switch with uplink for half the price?

building out a Dahua system and no POE in the NVR. Not sure if one is a better option.
 
Not quite sure how to read their datasheet. They have two columns: "system power consumption" at 9.66 watts and Power Consumption: Case (with PoE) at 143.89 watts. Do I only care about the high number?
 
the switch its self uses 9.66w with no PoE devices being used.. but since it can power other devices it can reach up to 143.89 watts.

Thats a nice and efficient switch, Cisco makes good stuff.. if you'd like the managed features then they wont let you down.. if your trying to over engineer you'll be hard pressed to beat that honestly.
