Do you use other switches with the 844GEs that work better?
I have no idea what that fancy Calix witch with the DHCP server built in costs.

We are using a few Ignite fusion fiber switches.  Big complaint is that there 
is some strange incompatibility with 844GEs where it will sometimes cause the 
844GE to reset its WAN VLAN settings if the ignite switch gets power cycled.  
Not sure if this has anything to do with ignite, but it doesn't happen with any 
other switch we have tried.  

VLAN settings are also mind bogglingly stupid.  It can do most things except 
adding two tags, but the way it is configured makes zero sense.  

Power/heat and dimensions are all good.

  We primarily use the HP Procurve J9803A (I think theyre called Office Connect 
or something now) With LACP for bonding our 2+0 SAF links. We have a site going 
in that will have three bonded links so I need at least 6 SFP. The new name of 
these also changed the corm factor, theyre deeper and wont fit in some of our 
enclosures. 

  We dont do much with our switches beyond VLAN and LACP.

  Whats a comparable option with the less then 10 inch depth but still 
rackmount that wont take issue with HP LACP on the other side of the link if 
that matters? Ive heard good/bad on the mikrotik switches. These currently only 
need up to 2gbps aggregate, but that will probably change over time. Im not 
opposed to full SFP, but on our CCR we have a coup SFP gigabit copper that are 
flaky, I dont know if thats a mikrotik thing or a copper SFP thing
