layer 7 uber firewall for home/small business

I know I'm asking a lot with this, but...

I noticed that D-Link put out this neat little SecureSpot box that
acts as an inline content filter, but it has annual fees, it only has
licenses for 4 computers, it requires client-side agents for some
functionality, and some people have reported that it slows down their
network. It's also only $99.

So I figure, of course Cisco has something that does this already and
find the ASA-5510 with the Content Security Module (CSM). Problem here
is that it's some obscene amount of money to purchase one and it
doesn't even come with the CSM for that price! Also, you'd probably
want a full-time network admin and someone trained to operate it (not
an option with my intended customers, maybe for someone larger).

I want a device that can provide a clean pipe to a group of computers
(lets say between 5 and 20), can do it without agents, and can do it
for <$400 (preferably less). Also, I don't want to build it myself and
I want it to Just Work. Sort of a middle ground between the two
products mentioned above.

Is there anything out there that meets those requirements?

Thanks.

ps. Apologies if this is the wrong list for this question. You can
reply to me privately if that's the case.
