Well, I can tell you one thing for sure- the PIX 501 will be Half, if not 1/3rd the cost of the 1720 with 3DES encryption.
The PIX 501 runs 700.00 retail, and if your company is a Cisco Reseller, you can get a discount on that. Good luck!

[7:32057] Unless the pix is really cheap, this might be a tough sell. We could do it fairly cheaply already -- a 1720 at work with (free) Cisco vpn clients to take home. But then they start saying at work, well, we need a spare, and of course there is maintenance ..... the problem, frankly, is that this is not a mission critical function, just something that would allow an engineer to provide level 3 support to the NOC after hours ...
