    Hi,

    UTM

    has IPv6 working

    mail relay

    easily tunable IPS

    does not require a NAT on all traffic

    better logging for fault resolution

    better realtime bandwidth usage

    DNS and DHCP servers (talk to each other)

    DNS proxy

    NTP proxy

    ftp proxy

    http proxy

    country blocking that works for IP4 and IPv6

    web site categorisation that works

    wifi using Sophos APs

    Limited IP addresses to 50.

    logical menu gui

    XG

    IPv6 very limited treats IP4 and IPv6 as two seperate firewall so you need to create duplicate rules.

    poor logging

    mail relay does not work very well for homeusers

    better application control

    very poor web site categorisation

    DNS is seperate and requires entries for any static IP address

    DHCP you need to add options via CLI

    wifi using Sophos APs

    no country blocking for IPv6

    network objects need to be created in many places eg a static assignment in DHCP is not visible in firewall rule network field.

    4 CPU and 6gb of ram for home users

    unlimited IP address until you run out of resources.

    illogical menu gui

     

    I think that should get you started as a home user. If you have limited number of IP addresses eg less than 50 I would recommend the UTM.
