Should I take the Edge-Core ES4612?

Good time everyone.
The task arose to organize the aggregation of several access switches over optical lines. The question arose which switch to take for aggregation with a sufficient number of SFP ports. The requirements are not so hot: VLAN support, port isolation, IGMP snooping (IGMP version 2 is already fine), LACP. You need to pump about 1.5-2Gbps on L2. You don't need to route.
I came across an advertisement for the sale of the Edge-Core ES4612. The price is quite liberal compared to the price of the same new one.
How good is this switch? Will it cope with the tasks?
When compared with other brands: DLink, LinkSys, Huawei better, worse, also?
Does this switch have problems with hardware revision, say like DLink DES-3200 A1, B1 and C1 have 2 different switches?

There are no problems with hard versions,
but the switch is very old.
Broadband operators remove it, as a rule. He is not very friendly with multicast.
Operating experience - shop.nag.ru/catalog/02392.Cisco/06739.3500XL-3550/... - is much better. Or a very workhorse - shop.nag.ru/catalog/02392.Cisco/06740.3560-3750/03...
Well, or modern L2 SFP aggregation, at least DLink DGS-3120 or better, DGS-3420 - there are a lot of these of the operators stand.
