Rich, I also have a couple of 515e's I'll be replacing in the next year or so. How did the NSA's handle the load? How about site to site VPN's? Hard to configure or piece of cake?

It has been a great improvement and a tremendous cost saver. There are a couple of goofy things with the NSA 240 and the way we do content filtering, but I figured out an acceptable workaround. I have no experience with the Prosecure devices, but I highly recommend looking at this type of UTM device for a small shop. SonicWall gave me a 30 day trial and it looks like Netgear does the same. I'm sure most of the other vendors have similar programs. You can try several of them out and see which one you like best.
