The X550e is a nice unit, I consider it to be the lowest end of a
network solution for a business. The double digit units are more of a
SOHO solution and while they provide great protection as a real
firewall, they don't have all of the options of the larger units.
An X550e + LSS for 1 year at $1,100 is a good price.
If you pick the WG unit, post here if you need help - I'm almost always
reading this group.
