Yeah, but paying $300 for one is crazy for the average home user. If I am spending company dollars, then sure, there is a reason to go for the brand name. But for my home setup I want something between cheap and crazy expensive.

In your scenario, I would say the best option would be buying used enterprise stuff for your home setup if you want both quality and relatively low price.
