SBS would definitely be a special case - and Symantec SEP would be 
overkill for an SBS environment too.  I use the Small Business suite of 
Trend for some of the non-profit's I support that run SBS and it works 
well - more then adequate.

For the enterprise, were the extra admin functions that Symantec provides 
are very nice, a server dedicated to SEP should be a non-issue.  Apples to 
oranges...
