Recently purchased a HP 2530-48G from provantage for just under $1K. The web interface is very basic. Had to learn a little CLI to finish the setup. Bought it based on recommendations from this list.

I have a procurve myself and love it. However, I don't see any new 48 ports switches for less than 1k.
