The 520 has a faster cpu for one thing. (515 is a 200mhz while 520 is a 300
or 333 mhz cpu). Also I believe you get more slots to put interfaces in
with the 520.
But I wouldn't buy either one - buy a 525. The 515 is too slow if you are
going to do any IPSEC/VPN stuff - even for a small 20 user office. As for
the 520 since it's end of life soon and since it only has a 300+ mhz cpu -
I'd go with something that would last for a few years - a 525 with 600+ mhz
cpu, etc......
