    How fast is your internet connection?

    Is this one flat network or will there be multiple networks that will need UTM between them?

    A 61E should be enough for that kind of bandwidth even with UTM enabled on your wan rules.

     

    From a security point of view, having a firewall with UTM is a nice peace to add but it doesn't solve bad layouts and it doesn't provide antivirus/malware on the PCs themselves (unless you have forticlient licences that is). Just saying simply adding a firewall won't fix everything :) That said it will prevent a lot of inconveniences if properly configured.
