Generally speaking I've found them to be far cheaper than similarly specced hardware, for the sfp+ and multigig hardware. (I've also seen benchmarks that show they can't handle the same kind of total throughput though either)

For price-value I only knew of Ubiquity, which also offers these kinds of products at supposedly more reasonable prices than the majority of the market.

Mikrotik seems to be older than Ubiquity but hasn't shown up on my radar for good value professional/prosumer equipment whereas Ubiquity has gotten a lot of hype a few years ago. I wonder what the difference is between the two

Maybe because you're not European? Mikrotik is Latvian, Ubiquiti from the US.

I remember Ubquity making a huge impression on the scene being touted as "professional hardware for a better price". I have never really heard that hype around Mikrotik. I'll keep them in mind though

I'm not European either. I was just looking for cheap fast hardware. I have a ubiquiti access point, it beats the pants off anything else I've used before. That said, I will never buy ubiquiti management equipment because they keep having either security issues or outages that affect your ability to administrate the network in the same room.
