I am contemplating either upgrading my current Firebox III 700's
subscription and extending it's warranty OR turning it in for a $480 credit
and getting the new Firebox X. I was wondering if there was anyone else out
there that went the second route and if so, was it worth the cost?
Upgrading the software subscription will only cost around $700 but doing the
full upgrade is a bigger $2,200 with all of the extras that I currently
have.

I've installed a ton of 700, 1000, and a few 2500's and a couple X, but
don't see where customers benefit from the X series unless they expect
their networks to change over a short period.

If you've not outgrown the 700, and still have plenty of processing
power left, I would save the cost and just renew the licenses and
support.
