I would not recommend N1x0 boxes with only two ports:
a. those often tend use Realtek chips, unlike their 4 or more port equivalents, which mostly use Intel I226V. Also, they often are actively cooled.
b. If you want to set up VLANs, you will want to have inter-VLAN traffic at full 2.5 Gbps speed, for which you need multiple physical 2.5 Gbps (V)LAN ports. Thus, two ports will not suffice.
