Fortinet/FortiGate - experience and observations?

Fortinet and its FortiGate product line seem to have appeared out of nowhere since the last time I looked at the firewall market. Does anyone have any experience with their products (esp at the high end of the SMB line - say the 300a)? The trade press reviews seem to indicate that the FortiGates have reasonably high performance, provide good price/performance ratio, but are difficult to set up. Does that match your experience?

Specific features I am looking at are QoS and two-ISP load sharing.

Thanks.
