Should I switch from SonicWall to FortiGate?

For more than a decade I have been working primarily with SonicWall so I know them very well. I also know their problems. We are coming up on a hardware refresh and are being pitched a FortiGate 201F from our preferred vendor. I have some issues with our current SonicWall, namely that the SSL VPN (Mobile Connect) is awful. NetExtender is fine but it routes internally whereas Mobile connect goes public for split DNS (preferred). It also has horrible throughput when going across sub-interfaces (VLANs) and we from about 130MB/S to 30.

Having no experiance with FortiGate I am hesitant, I'm sure they have their issues just like SonicWall so I'm looking for some feedback.
