Hi,

We have a TP 2400.  It all depends on what you are looking for.

Low latency -  superb
Ability to write your own signature - not that great, it limits you
UI - not that great, not overly intuitive
Reporting - not that great, slow, generally uncompromising, not as 
customizable as some may want
Updates from the vendor - above average

For a large environment like we have (1 GB duplex pipe to the Internet) 
latency was a large factor in our decision.  But if you are smaller than 
that, and latency tolerance is a bit looser you'll have lots of options.
