Looking for ASA 5516-x with firepower service real-life throughput

I want to enhance my network security, from a internet traffic/mallware/DNS perspective. I got 2 ASA 5516-x traditional firewalls in failover. According to Cisco datasheets they can deliver 900Mbps throughput. I am looking at a possible replacement to Cisco 2140 NGFW, but prices are insanely high, compared to traditional firewall.

And according to Cisco datasheet regarding firepower services on ASA 5516-x, the throughput will decrease with 50%. So my question is, do anyone have experience with firepower services on an ASA appliance regarding performance?

Or maybe some of you got suggestion for another firewall product with better security than just NAT/ACL.
