We have several hundred and are quite happy. Pre-7201/ASR it was about the only option for a cost effective 4 gig box for proper Hqos.
You're right though its 12.0S based and cant be far from EOL now (The ASR 1002 is the natural successor.). Dont expect to use it like a 7200 with every feature under the sun but if you need Ethernet, routing, QOS and maybe a few acls its great. Typical use for us is as Customer router for high bandwidth MPLS solutions (100Mbs to 750+) delivered on Gig. Route tables of 50K (large enterprise) rather than a full internet table. It only does sampled netflow which may or may not be an issue for you.

I have an opportunity to get a Cisco 10720 router for very cheap, but I'm rather unfamiliar with this model, I have some questions that I can't seem to find the answer for. Has anyone used this model router, if so, have you used it with BGP and such? The IOS limitations are rather odd, only having the 12.0 series (with somewhat recent updates) also makes me wonder? The unit can have 512mb of ram, and mentions only being able to handle ~ 250k routes, but is this in reference to the older model that only had 256 mb of ram? This router looks pretty good, being able to do 2mil pps though. Let me know off-list or on if you have any info! Thanks, Kyle Duren Network Coordinator Noel Communications, Inc.
