This is what we currently do for "BGP edge", and I totally love the

flash disk is so sloooowwwww so the fairly complex processes take ages,
and then a bit.

We did not look at clustering, just the basic IOS XR with MPLS support
(and no VRF license).
L3 VPNs are hellishly expensive, so we don't do that on the ASR9ks.

Yep. 4M routes.
On the Cisco side, I think there's currently nothing better.
On the J side, someone will mention MX240 - which would be a good choice
as well (do not go for MX80 or MX104).
