I can only speak for J and SRX as I have no first hand experience with M ...

I recently did some performance testing of SRX240, J6350 and SRX650 --
in terms of pps, they come out in that order; SRX240 is out-performed
by J6350 which is out-performed by SRX650. That might seem obvious as
it's the same sequence dollars-wise but just because J is an older
platform doesn't mean everything SRX is 'better'.

If the SRX240 meets your pps needs, it's a great box; dirt cheap for
what it can do. It's a big leap price-wise from SRX240 to SRX650.

Cheers,
Dale
