We currently have a TZ180, however we have reached its node limit, to update the nodes it costs around £210 to 25 nodes.

New ones e.g. a TZ200 isn't much more, however has unlimited nodes.

I have also been recommended a Cisco ASA5505 which I believe isn't too dissimilar?

Having a look at the ongoing running costs of the sonicwall, it seems to be quite a bit for the comprehensive security suite etc, around £200 a year.

Any ideas on which would be best?

A 5505-UL will probably run you more than the TZ205, and unless your familiar with Cisco kit will have a pretty steep learning curve. Plus as Chri5 says, you'll lose the UTM stuff.

TBH I don't need to learn anything really as it will be managed by our IT providers.

Just a case of which is decent value for money, the TZ180 has been faultless thus far.
