Skype for business equipment recommendations?

Does anyone have suggestions on equipment for a video conference using Skype for business? I've never set one of these up before.

We've been recommended to get either a Jabra 410 or a Jabra 810 for the speakerphone (http://www.jabra.com/business/speake...a-speak-series). Looking at the reviews on Amazon for the 410 they seems fairly promising except for the top negative review which states they had difficulties and had to pass the microphone around to be heard which is exactly what I want to avoid.

The Jabra 810 is much more expensive but the reviews seem promising. We just need the speaker to sit in the middle of the table (it'll never be moved out of this room) and work. The less effort the better.

For the camera they recommended a Logitech C920 which is located in their "For Me" section. See here: https://secure.logitech.com/en-us/pr...m-c920?crid=34

Looking at the Logitech site they apparently have a "For Business" section of webcams as well which are Skype for Business certified while the "For Me" section is not. For example there is a C930e camera that's about the same price:

I'll probably try to have the camera mounted on the wall so it'll never have to be moved (and broken or lost).

So, what do people think? Also any of you that have done this before, are there other types of set-ups I should be considering?
