Yes

Would you buy WatchGuard Network Security again?

Yes

Watchguard ist perfect for SMB, it lacks some features for Datacenter and bigger deployments (eg. VRF etc.). The Clustering is a dream especially in times were IPv4 IP- Adresses are rare (you only need one IP per Cluster Interface/VLAN not 3 like most of the competition.
Its super easy to configure and learn.
