They SFPs are cheap and work very well too.

Agree, I’m pretty happy with their gear.
This. FS or there's some shockingly good (looking) stuff on Aliexpress I've been considering and have heard good (perhaps sponsored) things about.
If you can live with only 4 10G ports, those types of switches are far cheaper than 16 port ones, I've gotten them for ~$100AU off eBay auctions before.
And if you're fine with spending a bit more you could get a 8 port ubiquiti aggregation switch, and then upgrade to a bigger switch once the price comes down.
Do you want managed or unmanaged switches? I run some Microtik managed 10g switches and I can provide model numbers when I get home tonight.
Microtik has a 16 port SFP+ managed switch (CRS317-1G-16S+RM) for around $500 USD.
My personal setup is a CRS312-4C+8XG-RM which has 8 10G RJ45 and 4 SFP+/RJ45 Ports. You can usually get this switch for around $500-600 USD. For 10G into 1G devices I got a CRS326-24G-2S+RM which has 2 SFP+ 10G port into 24 Gig RJ45 ports.
Just as a warning, most managed switches assume you are using these in a data center or office; they can get quite loud. In the case of Microtik switches there is an ebay seller that offers quieter fans that you can replace inside the box (that void your warranty).
