I replaced a Mikrotik 450G with an edgerouter poe at home, and prefer the edgerouter.
Both had perfectly adequate performance for my 100/10 fiber connection, but every few months (always when I was not at home) the RB450G would not renew the external interfaces dhcp lease.
It's probably a question of preference, but I did not really ever start to like the Mikrotik management. The web UI was unintuitive and the command line differed quite a bit from both cisco and linux. If I actually had to use it frequently it would be fine, but with just one device at home I never needed to touch it enough.
The edgerouter came shortly after they were released, never crashed or glitched. It has quite a lot less features, but I never needed a fraction of microtiks features anyway, and the ones I did need (dhcp options for internal network) did not exist. Somebutils on microtik were great though.
I'd day they are quite different beasts. Mikrotik has tons of advanced features, edgerouter not so much.
