Hi, Cisco offering includes two additionnal models that are smaller than the 515. The 506 and 501. One big difference between you 2611 running 3DES versus a PIX is speed. With the PIX will get better performance with 3DES.
The 501 is $595 for 10 users and $1195 for 50 users. It can do 10Mbps in cleartext (limited by 10BaseT HDX card) and 3Mbps with 3DES. And can support up to 5 VPN peers. Also, it comes with 4 port Ethernet switch. The 506 is at $1950. 20Mbps cleartext (limited by 10BaseT FDX card) and 10Mbps w/ 3DES. 25 VPN peers.
