This is more what I was getting at.

The prices were far lower than I first anticipated. I have to say, though, that from a home user perspective I absolutely despise Cisco (I have no experience with Juniper). I'm sure Cisco products make IT departments who must maintain mission-critical operations reasonably happy. However, I don't like, at all, the user-level comprises that Cisco forces. I can't tell from my quick scan of the Unifi whether these products are similarly over-bearing. They don't appear to be, but I'll look further.
