That does change the price dynamic a bit. $Work is similar in size (around 40 users at HQ, 7 teleworkers), and we've never really even stressed the NSA 240 HA pair. They're doing UTM, CFS, primary RBL checking, SSL VPN endpoint for the remote folks, and dual WAN duty (not failover). I've been very happy with the capabilities for the price we paid.
I'm not a SonicWall fanboy by any means, just a satisfied user. It looks like the 240 has roughly triple the throughput of the 2040, and double the number of ports. On the surface, it looks like you could save some pretty good coin over a few years by taking advantage of a trade in program and moving to a new device, if that's an option.
