Haha nice Confused! 
And yes, an ethernet switch will probably not leave your system anytime soon. But of course some day it'll probably be superseded by an improved version 2 or similar stuff from competitors. But who cares, or better said: I wouldn't! It's just technology (and a bit of money). 
I've been thinking about ordering one too since last week a deal I made for a LPS-1 plus some other streaming stuff including a Paul Pang modded switch didn't go through. But I've decided to wait for the JCAT network card (May 2017). This'll likely be a better fit for/in my system where the SMS-200 is directly connected to my music server without anything in that same path. It'll come closer to my philosophy of fixing things at the source as well and of course I wouldn't have to find space for yet another little box. For most people a higher quality separate switch is of the course the better/only viable solution.
Curious to what you think of it but I'm sure you'll write a nice review like you always do.
