Looking at the prices for 9901/02/03/04, and the licensing models for
NCS5700, I can assure you, "it won't be $80,000".
More like "$100k for the Chassis, and then another $300k for all required
licenses, to be renewed every 3 years" (subject to bazaar style discount
negotiations that make any sort of budget planning impossible)...
Cisco is a textbook example how to drive away a truly loyal user base,
and then blaim it on stock market analysts ("they said that any company
without a recurring revenue software model will be dead soon").
Gert nailed it.
This is one of the (many) reasons we aren't interested in Cisco anymore.
We are phasing out all the kit we have with them. We will, however, keep
the CSR1000v, as we like that, and can support ourselves on it.
