every vendors has a weakness and a pro, in my view ALU easily are superior in real life situations. Having a look at the hardware and deep look at the code ALU win in my view, but you spend your money and take your choices. Take a look at 7950XRS for a platform that truly performs and Cisco have been chasing ALU on edge for ten years, ALU now have 7750-E!

They do not seem very geared for dealing with "small shops". Needless to say, Cisco claim that "independent testing" proves the ASR9k is superior to the 7750: http://www.miercom.com/2011/02/cisco-asr-9000-vs-alcatel-lucent-7750/ but real world experience trumps lab reports of course.
