I thought the BGP scanner and other generic performance caveats that affected the 6500s were a universal issue amongst all vendors?

This is partly price related although BGP performance (scanner) was the driving force on this decision. Also, for MPLS the price/features to deploy was much more attractive to us on the MX series too. We have some of the MX up and running now and extremely pleased in comparison. Juniper isn't perfect nor is Cisco - for our needs the move to MX for core BGP/MPLS appears to have been a really good choice.

If you're doing Ethernet only you should be looking at the Juniper MX series (e.g. MX480) instead of M320. Much nicer port pricing.
