here is the more information and comparision ( these are Firewall, iam not sure what is your requirement. -it means these can do limited routing and  switching)

Without knowing more about the network environment and how the current 5505s are being used it is difficult to give good advice. One comment is that the 5505 interfaces operated as switch ports. You could configure multiple interfaces to be in the same vlan (and therefore same subnet). Neither the 5506 or 5508 have that capability and their interfaces operate as routed ports.
