PIX 515e satisfy requirements?

I got roughly 80 users at corporate, and roughly 20 sites with each one having about 2-10 computers.  About 8 sites has a Fractional T1 from 256 to 512KB, and the others are DSL lines.  It's a hub and spoke diagram where they come back for me for internet:


                                                                                                        Remote
                                                                                                      /
 Internet--->[router]--->[checkpoint FW]----LAN----[Router2]---WAN---- Remote
                                                                                                      \
                                                                                                        Remote

The vpn tunnels are managed by Qwest.

Question:
I got a Checkpoint firewall and I am looking to replace it.  I got a PIX 515e in mind.  But should I get a PIX 515e Restricted, or a PIX 515e UnRestricted?  I know the UnRestricted has more throughput then the Restricted.  Which PIX will satisfy my requirements?

Thanks JFrederick29 and Irmoore for all the great inputs.  I would be purchasing the PIX 515R because my vpn tunnels are managed by Qwest and probably would stay like that forever.  I'll give you guys an update once I'm finished my PIX class and deploying it in my network.
