recommend for best value for the dollar, used OR new.

With all due respect, without sharing NDA protected information about the

with in a certain network, there are very valid reasons to have significant

Perhaps if you cannot offer context, then the message of 'fs is bad'
is best shared elsewhere.
There is a reason they are abnormally cheap, in exactly the same way that FS transceivers
which are literally the cheapest 1Gbps and 10Gbps OOK optics you can "Add to
cart" and buy online are the cheapest transceivers you can buy on the market.
They're not really particularly cheap, they are 'market rate', you can
get 'market rate' from multiple suppliers, directly from manufacturers
too. They are only cheaper than most EU+US resellers, that's about it.
