XG firewall, can't say I'm impressed

Attempted today to swith out the old UTM with XG firewall (home use). Been using this product since Astaro 4.7 (I think), and loved it since day one.

And I can't really say I'm impressed with XG firewall. The GUI is messy while im sure the touch fanboys will love it, personally I hate it. 

There don't seem to be a option to see live log. It could be that I didn't look good enough tho. 
Country blocking, couldn't get it to work. Don't know if it was even supposed to work. 
Specifying FW rules was horrible. I think I actually prefer Windows firewall rule adding to this. 

Reporting was powerfull and I can see thats a improved area.

Unfortunatley the XG firewall named Batman was decapitaed and nuked from orbit. Atleast I tried and wanted to like it.

    That's what i say too. XG firewall GUI is miles away from the UTM GUI! The posibilty to upgrad from UTM to Sophos XG Firewall i not an option for UTM users.

    I am glad the option to downgrade is not available for UTM users...
