I have to say I had an expensive cisco router that routed my entire network. Due to a lightning strike I was in a bind to replace it and didn't have 12K on hand to buy another one. After some thought (not much because time was of the essence) I went with mikrotik. Everything I have works better. Even to the point that customers noticed a difference My ping times were greatly reduced and some small issues I was having before disappeared.
Just my 2 cents.
