Fortigate 400F vs 200G

Hi!

I have to renew or replace a Fortigate 400F cluster, that is working as ISFW.

Looking at the specs, the 200G seems to outperform the 400F while being cheaper (more RAM, higher NGFW-throughput.

Did I miss anything, or would you prefer to take a pair of 200Gs?

Best wishes

    would prefer a new generation over an old one to be honest besides better specs on the 200G as you pointed out, it will also have a longer lifespan of support/life

    If you have a 400F cluster now, of which end of sales date is not set yet, do you have any particular reasons you want to replace the hardware now (or a reason to justify spending a lot of money) ? The support for 400Fs would last more than 5 years from now and at that time, highly likely H-series hardware would be available.
