   You will need two of something.  If both sites are large enough for   
   X700's then yes, two X700s would be good.  If there is a main site with   
   many users that requires the performance of an X700 and the other site   
   is very small you can have an X edge model there.  If you are brave you   
   can even mix different vendors but your support options for problems   
   become more difficult.  I currently have an X700 model setup with   
   Netopia 3386 units running in some people's homes with permanent VPN   
   connections that work fine together.   
      
   Watchguard has smaller models that are more appropriate for smaller   
   sites.  You might want to look at their X edge models for smaller   
   offices.  The X700 is for larger operations with many more than a single   
   site to site VPN link. You might even only need two X edge models if   
   both offices are smaller.
