Would you consider Juniper SSG5 as a Consumer Grade router?

They do IPv6 and they are pretty good in general, and cheap as well.

Not as usable in the consumer space due to lack of UPnP (and Juniper is NOT interested in implementing it). They also lack some other customer friendly features.

UPnP is a bad idea that (fortunately) doesn't apply to IPv6 anyway.

You don't need UPnP if you'r not doing NAT.

Price point is also probably 3x-5x what most are willing to pay for CPE.
Yep.

Side-note, SRX-100 is the new SSG-5 equivalent and it's JunOS instead of ScreenOS. Nice box.
