Any "gotchas" with the Palo Alto 800 series?

As a big fan of PA, I have always implemented them for customers that have a large budget and want the functionality. So looking for an SMB customer I really did not have them in mind, but I figured I would like at their website just in case. I drilled into their website, and realized that they now have a 800 series (specifically the 820) which offers a pretty nice PA with some excellent specs for the cost of a ASA 5525. At first I want to jump at this, but 90% of the time my experience in IT speaks top the law of if it is too good to be true.... The datasheets look good, but more often than not marketing and engineering carefully write those together, so I am wary.

So - is there anyone out there put one of these in place? Are there any features neutered? Gotchas you did not realize existed? I do not want to look even dumber than I already am if I recommend it going forward.
