I have to agree with Eric here. 1G should be relegated elsewhere. If you ask for something that does all these speeds you will soon ask for 10m and that’s a wide range.
I would go with a 72q and if something needs 1G then add a switch or similar. Something like that Arista 7050 while EOL will cover this well and can be had for cheap.
