CSM dosn't support SSL offload, ACE does. With CSM You may use SSL
offload module, separate blade for cat6.

I would skip CSM as ACE is next generation product (contexts, TCP
offload, active-active also per context, many more).

You may want to take a look at F5 and Juniper products, nice feature are
rules that You can check You traffic in L7 without significant
performance decrease.
