Fortigate firewalls... any good?

Anyone here have experience with Fortigate products? How do they compare to Checkpoint in terms of performance and reliability?

We have Checkpoints currently and have been running into performance and reliability issues (particularly when the Infosec team goes crazy with their vulnerability scans, but also from DoS attacks from the web). The Fortigate salespeople claim they are the only ones in the space offloading traffic to ASICs. Is this true and does it make a difference in real life?

Edit: Not sure why I'm getting so many downvotes.. is it because you've had bad experiences with Fortigate? Or because you think the question isn't appropriate for the sub? Either way, feedback would be appreciated.
