$179 still seems reasonable.

Of course, you can also get used X550 cards for that price nowadays. They sure came down in price while I wasn't looking.
I did find out that there are some compatibility issues with certain Realtek 2.5 Gbps chips though, possibly through my old Netgear multi-gig switch. Could be they have a lot of stock?
FWIW QNAP does sell a model using the ACQ113 so I'm guessing this is just a pricing/supply situation.
