A lot less painful on asr9k than on crs*. The 9k just take ages but don't tend to end being the marathon sessions that seem to be the norm for the CRS platform. Another important point on IOS-XE is that Cisco are planning to create much shorter software support cycles than previously which means that you really need to keep up to date with software releases if you want to avail of TAC support for problem tickets. Conversely, the support costs for XE devices is substantially lower.
