I was going to answer by email but thought this may be of general interest to
the group:

I'm in the same boat exactly.  I haven't found anyone that recommends the
EtherRoute (nobody uses it?) but have heard a lot of good things about the 
Webster box.  Are you aware that Webster is offering a 40% discount (to a 
"select group of companies", whatever that means) until the end of June?  
I think a Webster @ $2997 is a great deal.  Also, Cayman is unloading the 
original GatorBox (bundled with GatorShare) for ~$1500.  However, I am 
strongly considering buying two Websters at the discount price.  One will 
provide the services I need now and the second will be a "future 
expansion"/backup machine.
