Thanks for all of your thoughts. I found out that the SmartDefense is a line item cost ($2750 us$ per box unlimited users license), although I haven't seen whether the av and web filtering is part of that subscription.

Jim, since web content filtering ships with R65, does it behoove one to just get the the SD license without the AV, so that we can utilize our existing corporate AV solution (a CP partner), or do you know if it's the same cost either way (haha)?

I was also a bit worried about running the SmartCenter on the gateway. I prefer to have a separate server for the gateway management, nice to know that you can do either. Also, nice to know that HA is available. I'm looking forward to testing the box this week.
