i have found quite a few sfp  1 gig transceivers.  i didnt know sfp and sfp+ were compatible. 

Yep backwards compatible which keeps the cost of 1Gb connectivity down. You'll see with this switch every 1Gb option is SFP while all the 10Gb are of course SFP+. https://www.alliedtelesis.com/products/x900-series

I'd contact Ubnt sales and check though, I have seen reports of some switches have non backwards compatible SFP+ ports but that's likely a firmware thing.
