Hello @dowre70,

For a small office of around 5 people with basic requirements like creating 5 VLANs and implementing QoS for VOIP, the Cisco CBS220-24P-4G should suffice and is likely more cost-effective. However, if you foresee potential future growth or more complex networking needs, the Cisco WS-C2960X provides more flexibility and advanced features.

Consider your current and future requirements, as well as your budget...

Also, find EoL/EoS for C2960X and its replacement product:
