we know, that the lower end sg x10 and x30 appliances outperform their todays UTM *** equivalents. But if you are a "older" UTM / Astaro customer, you may remember those discussions all 1-2 major updates, when customer appliances was tightly sized, and got slow with new versions due low resources.
the todays sizing guide should give you enough spare resources to definately also run blazing fast the upcoming 9.3 and also should be able to run staisfying a v10, SG x, NGFW however the UTM successor will be called then when once released next year, if you want to switch then to that one.
So a "oh, that new, fast hardware allows a downsizing" thinking may bring you in 1-2 years in that same performance trouble again, which may lead to another hardware upgrade then.
my recommendation...size well, and if budget allows it, even little over your expected resource and infrastructure growth. Costs little more $$, but will finally keep your users happy.
