I really could use (today) something that had more than just two SFP+ ports.

A Mikrotik four port (or more) SFP+ would at least allow 10 gig fiber uplinks -and-downlinks (or a redundant 10 gig fiber link) and be able to connect up some 10 Gig Ethernet-or-Fiber to some local 10 gig servers or other 10 gig switches/routers.

4 or more ports + MPLS fast reroute would be really useful.

yea it would be great to be able to use it as as rather high end L2 or L3 device for bridging and or routing (and support more than just two SFP+ ports

A year has passed since this thread was opened, but Mikrotik didn't offered any products with more SFP+ ports so far.
I'm bumping this thread to remind that this suggestion are really could be useful for many. With recent development of 10G networks even new mid-range servers has 10G ports. With only 2 ports on Mikrotik that leaves only downlink and uplink, leaving no available ports to connect endpoints with 10G in most networks.
