CISCO Kits

Guys, I've been considering doing the CCNA: Security, and I was wondering what kind of kit I should get. I was thinking that a kit with a firewall would be necessary, but, apparently, not. I'm also curious as to why most of the kits include two routers as opposed to one. Basically, I'd like some help on choosing the right kit. Any help would be much appreciated. Right now, I'm thinking about going with two routers and a switch.

I don't think anyone believes you are a bot or anything, but your same question has been asked many times which is why people aren't jumping to answer again. Try searching the forum and I'm sure your questions will be answered ten fold.
I'm also moving this thread to the CCNA:Security forum
Somehow, I always thought that a lab for CCNA:Security would require at least one firewall.
Is that really anywhere near as good a solution as a CISCO ASA (Advanced Security Appliance)?
Nope, I don't have any of the equipment yet. I went the path of a simulator when I did my CCNA, but now I want to move away from simulators and start building a serious lab at home. I want the experience of cable crimping (cables being bad), bad network points, everything that could happen in a "real world" scenario, and I don't think that simulators can really provide that.
imo no it's not, but it's a good introduction to security and what goes on under the hood
The ASA is covered more in depth in the CCSP track
