I don't understand why anybody would buy a 'router' (whether vyatta/x86 based or not) that has FIB/TCAM space for full routes, but isn't capable of MPLS...
MPLS in its various forms is invaluable for traffic engineering. Even basic stuff like creating a cross connect from a VLAN containing a few open wifi APs at site A, for example a coffee shop in a big MDU, to your firewall/captive portal (pfsense, whatever) in a datacenter at site B.
