Help choosing a Pix

[quickconnect]

I am getting ready to setup an new site-2-site with one of our partner locations. Currently they are using dial-up for Lotus Notes Mail and Internet.

The office is fairly small around 12 users and low traffic.
The dont plan on growing as far as users but maybe more resources.

What device do you guys/ladies suggest?
Pix 501
Pix 506
Cisco 1760 Router

I would go for a 506E. You could get a 501 but for what you would have to pay to get a 50 user licence you might as well make an investment and get the 506E.

I agree with ChrisAC.

Get a 506e, don't sell yourself short by getting a 501.

We currenly have a few Pic 501's with 50 user licenses so that's not the issue. Do you think performance wise we should go with a 506E or would a 501 do good?

 

[ChrisAC]

As a rule I would always spend as much money as we could afford

If I wanted a 506E but I was given a sufficient budget to get a 515, I'd get the 515.
