Best router for our situation

We are looking at replacing our Mikrotik router. Not because it hasn't been doing a good job for us but because the hardware isn't carrier class. Basically, would like some reccomendations from experts out there, prefferably those who have had expierence with Cisco, Juniper or Mikrotik or some other great router.

The things we'd really like the new router to have:
-ablility to do everything on one box(firewall, vpn up to 100 users,QOS,bonding, ect)
-easy to manage GUI interface. Don't really want to learn the IOS language
-reliable
-Easy to backup/restore.

Currently router configuration which we'd need to match -it would be nice to have expansion for the future:
-1 T1 card
-8 ethernet port

We've been thinking about going with one of these. http://www.mikrotikrouter.com/ but are still unsure about it's reliability.
Do the cisco's of the world have anything compariable to the Mikrotic router os?
