I agree, generally. The newer NSA series devices even bring better
functionality and a better interface than the older TZ and PRO series.

My recommendation would be to go with a NSA240 or NSA2400, depending
on the size of the small business.

There are a few problems with SonicWALL though, so keep them in mind:

They do not support PPTP, and their L2TP implementation is abysmal.

Their support is far from good.

You have to pay for firmware updates (which other SOHO devices like
ZyXELs ZyWALLs do not have).

They do not offer a 64bit compatible VPN client - yet. There is one in
beta, but it crashes often.
