Have to replace some PIXs.

Narrowed the selection down to WatchGuard x750e v Juniper SG140.
They both meet all the basic criteria and each one has it's
advantages.

My only concern left is support. The sales people say the normal sales
talk i.e. fast resolution blah blah blah.

Anybody with experience of either care to share their thoughts??

I made exelent experiences with juniper (ssg140 & ssg1000), you have
everytime the opportunity to expand the firewall to a ha cluster or ocspf
routing via ipsec etc.
In my opinion the best commercial appliance I've ever seen.

I have around 80 Watchguard Firebox, everything from the Firebox II,
II/1000 to the X1250e units and find that support has greatly improved
over the years. While I have a choice of anything on the market, I stick
with WatchGuard as my primary choice. We're using them with customers
all over the USA and in two development centers in India.

WatchGuard provides all of that in a single solution, and you can
upgrade the performance of the firewall with a soft-key without having
to replace the box.
