Lancope and Securify both have appliances that start in the 10k
range. Mazu has a nice offering too, but I'm not sure if they ever
came out with anything affordable for smaller environments (at one
time it was about 120k+ to get in the door if I remember correctly).

Personally I think Stealthwatch is the easiest to configure/tune of
the ones I've seen mentioned above (I've not seen Intrusense's nsight).

Securify has limited protocol validation going for it too, if you don't
already have that in your NIDS. Stealthwatch also has some strong
points like setting ACLs when needed.

Not knowing how many collection points you need, how much
traffic you have (and how easily you can aggregate it) it's hard
to say whether or not you can get by on one 10k appliance.

Good luck, and sorry for the auto-disclaimer that will be attached
to my email as soon as it leaves my mail server,
