Juniper SSG-5-SH 256MB info

[Private Citizen]

I just sold my Fortigate 50A I've had at home for a couple of years recently and wanted to get something comparable for the house to mess around with. Never used Juniper stuff before so I just wanted to ask what you guys thought of the SSG-5-SH 256MB. Noticed these things on Ebay and I was just wondering. They any good? Worth it to get? Any thoughts? Or what about an ASA?

The juniper can do more stuff than the ASA, like content filtering.

It has perhaps a better user interface, since i assume you'll be using a GUI.

Arn't they subscription based tho ? Can only use certian features if the unit is activated etc etc ?

Yes, you'd have to get a subscription for any of the UTM features.

The ASA can do an SSL VPN, the juniper cannot.
