Not necessarily. There have been very interesting bundles where a highly-available ASR9000 is cheaper than a 7600 with an RSP720-3CXL + ES line cards. I guess it's just the same deals you get on CRS's being better-priced than the XR12000's. > The Nexus 7000 is supposed to replace the 6500 for an > aggregation switch but the cost and other issues (bugs > and lack of XL card) has slowed adoption.

We probably would consider a Nexus 7000 as a replacement for core Layer 2 Ethernet switching in our network, but if I had to think about it generally, the Nexus, for one reason or another, doesn't seem like such an obvious upgrade path here.
