router

We are evaluating the Cisco SA 500 router for our new office router. Would anyone recommend another similarly-featured router from another manufacturer?

Requirements: - Office of 14 people - We are likely to switch to 14 VOIP phones (Linksys SPA-942) soon - We want to use VPN on the router, if possible, with Windows and Mac users
