I got one the last time it was available (very briefly!) and it arrived last night. I'm very impressed with the unit. It's a huge upgrade from my USG-3P.
For those not familiar this is a newly released, small form factor firewall. It's like the USG-3P but much faster (gig-rate with all features enabled like IDS/IDP). It does not have a WiFi access point like the Dream Machine. It DOES have a built in controller (like the Cloud Key), so that's very handy.

1) Main LAN where your laptops, PCs, phones, tablets, etc. go

4) Guests
That way if something "bad" happens in one VLAN/WLAN, there is a fair amount of protection & separation from the others (especially the "main LAN" where your more sensitive data is).
And, most of all, you can control where each of those VLANs/WLANs go... but by default they go everywhere... so if you need to have 2-4+ access points to get good coverage in your home, you can walk around and stay connected seamlessly. (And keep in mind that you really want to have a 5 GHz connection all the time vs. dropping down to 2.4 GHz... but 5 GHz does not travel as far and is more easily blocked by walls and such... so you usually need more Access Points than you would think.)
For $129 the UCG-Ultra is a very impressive device (at least in my opinion).
