Outside of one project, I have never seen real life SyncE systems.
I guess that SyncE is mostly deployed in telecom, with propriety SW.

I don't think there is any cheap HW for SyncE.  For the switch, you
can consider the Marvell Link Street SOHO line.  If your links are
gigbit and you configure the Marvell, then any gigbit client will
accept the Marvell's master clock.  At least, I think that is how it
is supposed to work...

Good luck,
