While this is a nice idea to cause some pressure, I can't see it as
overly realistic - if I have a router A that will fulfill everything
that we need, and a router B that will only do 80% and at the same
time costs 20% more, but has a better company web interface, I think it's
very unlikely that their web download thingie will be change our
decision.

(Besides, most competitors web sites and software download processes are 
even worse)
