Does the security an application-layer firewall provides justify its expense? If you operate one of these firewalls, what vendor do you think stands above the rest?

The March 21, 2003 issue of Network Computing magazine has a decent article reviewing 5 of the major brands offering application level firewalls.
It serves as a good starting point for anyone looking to implement a firewall of this type. As always,ask any vendor you are considering to provide reference sites willing to discuss the product.
