Answering a few of these in line...

Crossbeam is doing the logistics they did not develop the system. The hardware is manufactured by the same company that does the manufacturing for the low-end Crossbeams which is why it looks the same, but it is not the same hardware.

My account doesn't have AV features (need to check how to get this), so I couldn't really test the bit I wanted... :( |
you want an SDAV-U subscription for it (SmartDefense and AV+Content filtering Updates).
The content filtering comes with R65 which has been in public EA for a while now so I guess it will be out soon.

The hard drives are suppose to be "industrial" drives that will run 24x7 for several years. We'll see.

The confusing part to me is just how these boxes are being positioned. It looks like the solid-state Edge's are being positioned for the smaller offices and protection of industrial networks (process control, etc.), these UTM boxes are being positioned for mid-sized locations, and "real" installations are for the main office.
But without a license limit restriction on the UTM boxes, they could easily replace the full-blown "Power" boxes unless you need gobs of bandwidth.

Edge for 5-100 user offices
UTM/UTM-1 for 50-1000 user offices
Power for 500+ user offices
These are the guidelines, but they don't really mean anything as you can get unlimited licenses for any of these.
The big difference between UTM and Power is features like QOS, and SecureXL for high performance.
UTM licenses are just fine for most people.
