Any Polycom Soundstation model will be more than acceptable. We use the
IP6000 and love it. Meets your criteria for extension mic's & speakers.

The IP4000 model was discontinued, and did not support HDVoice. HDVoice
makes a huge difference if you can make calls IP-to-IP. It makes
conferencing seriously better.

I've also trialed the Konftel/snom MeetingPoint
(http://www.mgraves.org/voip/2009/07/initial-impressions-konftel-300-spe
akerphone/) . It's very good as well, and can be had with a diversity
of interfaces; analog, IP & USB making it very versatile. It also
records to a SD card if you need.
