Why would they want to use a hardware firewall that provides less
security and flexibility?

He should check the number of exploits listed at Secunia for whatever he
chooses, and compare them to ISA 2004 (which has ZERO).

Don't just look at the up front cost, but the cost of ongoing support
and upgrades. You'll find that the TCO is much better with ISA (assuming
that he isn't going the SOHO solution where "I don't need to pay for no
security" ethic lives)
