Pro vs Ultra (comprehensive)
Is there a comprehensive listing of the differences between the "Pro" and "Ultra" models?
I know it is "business features" but I don't know what precise list of features are "business" features. I see lists of some features (Active Directory, something about snapshots, ...), but I've not been able to find a complete list of differences between these models.
The one that got my attention was "rsync over ssh" being called a business feature...this seems crazy that such a basic function would be business only and really devalues the product for me. I've got no problem logging into the device and manually rsyncing from the commandline, and I am hoping this is still possible without shenanigans? (I assume at least I can apt-get it for myself)
Specifically, I am interested in the Pro 2 and Ultra 2, but I may also consider the 6 versions.

- The primary "business" models (aka Pro) have the following features that aren't found on the "home" models (aka Ultra):
- 5-year warranty (vs. 3 on home models)
- Active Directory support
- Network Teaming (LACP, bonding, fail-over, etc.)
- VLAN
- SNMP
- snapshots
- multi-system cloning
- rsync over SSH (both home & bus. support rsync but only the bus. models offer over SSH natively. There are how-tos in the forums on how to manually configure the "home" models).

CPU Specs: http://home.bott.ca/webserver/?p=499 - What software does the Ultra series come with that is not included with the Pro series?
- any addons that can be used on the ultra, can be used on the pro, and vice versa.
in other words, add-ons dont care whether ultra or pro.
