I tend to use the Firewall feature set in places where I need serious router
functionality in addition to basic firewalling. Keep in mind that a PIX can't
do WAN modules, can't do BGP, and does not speak the same IOS we all know and
love.
Of course, in case cost does factor into your design, the IOS upgrade on a
7200VXR, costs the same as a PIX515 bundle.
