From ClearOS to Sophos UTM Home Edition

Currently I use ClearOS 5.2 which is a bit old, as my home gateway.
Since version 6 seems unfinished, and I accidentally found out
that Sophos has similar free product, I'm curious if someone
replaced ClearOS with Sophos before, what are your experiences?

What are advantages/disadvantages over ClearOS?

Hi Ian,
AFAIK, transparent mode exists to make client proxy configuration unnecessary, and there shouldn't be a load difference either way.

Hi Barry,
according to the wiki on proxies, the transparent is at layer 3 and the standard is at layer 7. The layer 3 traffic is captured and passed to the layer 7 proxy which would make extra work for the UTM rather than capturing and processing layer 7 traffic. Probably only an issue for a heavily loaded UTM in transparent mode.
