I totally agree with below. Unless you do not plan on actually running GigE interface at line rate, only then consider NPE-G1 box. Any Cisco 72/73xx is anemic when it comes to pushing traffic hard. But it's a balance that counts, if Juniper box turns out way too expensive then you will need to make a sacrifice one way or another.
