I've got a couple of points to add.
First is a comment about the stability, we go through periods where we're sending core files to them every other day. So maybe that's what makes them so secure, you can't get through the firewall if it's not up.
Second point has to do with the level of support. In order to get adequate attention, it frequently requires it starting an email thread (screaming bloody murder), with our account manager cc'd.
I've extensive experience with Check Point Firewall-1 (over-priced and over-hyped) and rarely saw these types of issues.
I also have moderate experience with Fortinet devices, and that's what I'd lean towards making the choice again...
