My 2c is that if you choose to change out the entire unit, go with something that has a newer CPU. A J6412 or N100 based system.
My own personal system now is an old J3455 that I've had running for the last 6 years. It sips power and maxes at 14w draw. It will do full gigabit up/down but I don't do any kind of IDS/IPS, so that saves a lot of spare CPU cycles.
If I was buying again today, there are much newer CPUs that still fit in that 10/15w range. The J4xxx series is very close to the J3xxx series in terms of per-core performance.
