You'll be fine with a LOT of BGP edge work. :) The RSP880 is faster on paper, but I'll be impressed if you notice a difference over the 440 in terms of solely basic BGP edge functions. It of course has support for other things that you might need, however. (No idea why this would need to be offlist...) -- Tom

If you certainly need 880 later, I might be wondering if Cisco will 'help' with securing a discount for the upgrade license later in the day. Just a thought. :) Regards, -- Tom
