It seems that you would wind up hiring third-party engineers to do maintenance on high-end dedicated routers anyway, and such specialized engineers come with all sorts of certifications that make them expensive to hire as well. It is exactly because paying warm bodies to do maintenance would not be cost-effective that we agreed that it probably wasn't a good idea to use a GNU/Linux-based router system to do simple NAT back then. But in this case, you wind up needing to get those warm bodies anyway, whichever solution you choose.
