M7i and related platforms have an announced EOL - there's roughly 4yrs left before they start ending support.
MSM requires CFEB-E. CFEB-E has a much faster onboard CPU, way more route lookup memory. The CEB likely won't even hold a full IPv4 table anymore. CFEB-E gets HQoS amongst other things with QoS and policers. The M7i platform is extremely limited WRT jflow (called something else now marketing wank speaky) without the ASM or MSM. Even with the ASM - ISTR the ASM basically doing either flow or other stuff (NAT/stateful firewall) but not both and didn't work very well even 6 yrs ago due to insufficient RAM.
