Difference between Cisco 2600 series router and 800 series router

Hi all
Right now we have 2600 series router without any trouble, one of our ISP is suggesting 800 series, I wonder if its a step down router or advanced than 2600 series?
Help plz

800 series doesnt have expansion slots, then will not support multiple-wan, voice, ...

1800 and 2800 series have 1 or multiple expansion module and are faster.
IMHO they are just trying to sell you a new one. Their suggestion is a non-sense!!  Ask them why... they won't have any answer!!!

Thanks Danny
Agreed:
 - Which one has more processing power and the ability to handle the network?
 - I would be happy if they would have offered the same brand i.e 2600
 - To me Security, network handling (speed of processing packets etc) would be of more importance.
 - Right now we use access list on the same 2600 router.  
I am totally blank on the 800 series and the major differences between them.
Thanks
If it ain't broken don't fix it.
