Yes, this is pretty much what I thought. I am familiar enough with Linux, it powers the appliances I work on full time, so that's likely the way I'll have to go.
Plenty of options for network cards, be it a single dual port network card or two single ports, and I can just hook the LAN side up to a gigabit switch to provide the port density so that won't be a problem.
As far as affording goes, well, some places aren't like the UK!

Oh a quick Iperf between devices on WAN and LAN ports on router soon puts anything like that to bed
