Hi Odhiambo!
I have done quite a few pfSense 2.x installations on those two machines.

All you have to add is RAM and a small mSATA SSD, change the BIOS to IDE,
pfSense does not work with AHCI apparently.
Now, those devices does only have 1 Gigabit Port, so I combine them with a VLAN
switch, they are very cheap.
I usually use the D-Link DGS-1100 Series and configure one port as an uplink to
the NUC, and the rest in a combination of WAN, LAN and OPT ports.
This obviously does not work very well if you have servers on one VLAN and
Clients on another, AND do heavy bulk transfers of large files between the two
VLANS, but for everything else, it works like a charm.
The Celeron 847 is normally fast enough for most setups, and the Core i3
version give you a lot of power for the price and wattage.
Better yet, you can pick all hardware up almost everywhere.

I'd like to acquire a nicely designed device running pfSense. Is there a nicely
designed device the size of a typical Netgear WiFi router device, with high
specs?
I'd like to respond in-line, but the top post kind of makes it
difficult. At any rate, the units described by Ulrik could easily be
multiple Ethernet units. You would just need to carry a few USB Ethernet
adapters along with the unit in your back back.
Thanks,
