Don't expect the MX104 RE to be significantly faster than the MX80 RE. It uses a slightly newer PPC processor (1.8 GHz Freescale e5500 vs 1.3 GHz Freescale e500v2) - but commit time for the MX104 is quite comparable to the MX80. The greatest advantages of the MX104, as I see them, are: - 4 Gbytes of memory instead of 2 Gbytes. - Shallow cabinet that fits in ETSI rack (important for some of us). - Possibility of redundant RE.
