Hi Scott, Have you looked at the Brocade CER2000? It has a better price point than the MLX-4 at the expense of internal redundancy. It will do 512k routes in hardware and is based on the same Ironware as the XMR/MLX series.
I am looking to evaluate one soon, but at the moment I run MLX-4s and they have been rock solid as edge routers with a handful of BGP sessions. I can't comment on the Juniper MX series but when I last priced one it wasn't competitive for my needs, although it does seem to offer more features plus the usual benefits you get with Junos management.
