The SOHO units are under $400. The low end business units start around
$1600 and go up from there. The $1600 unit, the 700, will do everything
that the 2500 does, but doesn't do it as fast.
If you are spending $4000 on a server for your business (or more), then
a cheap $400 SOHO or a $1600 Firebox is a small price for security. I'm
sure that other vendors have SOHO and low end appliances in the same
price ranges.
