Re: Juniper firewalls - SSG or SRX

SRX seems very new and many comment it as unstable, this includes some of
Juniper engineers I know in person. SSG though is phasing out. 8months ago
while I was looking for these solutions more closely, I had decided to stay
with SSG, which was good for next 3-4 years. However I believe probabyl SRX
is more reliable now, and moving from ScreenOS to Junos definitely is a
learning curve but something that worth in long term.

Has anyone on Nanog had any hands on experience with the lower end of the
new SRX series Junipers?  We're looking to purchase two new firewalls, and
I'm debating going with SSG series or to make the jump to the SRX line.  Any
input, especially about the learning curve jumping from ScreenOS to JunOS
would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you in advance.
