We migrated to MX80 for IP/BGP customers aggregation. Main reason : Pricing and capability to handle 10-20G of customer without issue which costs a lot more in case of ASR 1K. MX80 sucks in terms of routing-engine performance, but for customers BGP sessions we simply are using bird route-servers to off load poor MX80 RE. You can probably also look at ASR 9001 - it's will be very very good box for ethernet aggregation and can handle a lot of traffic - much more than small ASR 1K. Do anyone have experiences with performance of ASR 9001 CPU (BGP convergence etc) as it's PPC based not Intel Xeon like "big" ASR 9K.
