I'll chime in and say that the 7450/7750 are very nice boxes.  Their  
non-stop routing feature is something that other vendors are barely  
starting to support, years after they started doing it.   Now they are  
onto features like cross-chassis 802.3ad, etc. that no one else is  
doing in a SP router platform.   The 7450 which is priced against  
switch-like devices like the C76xx and the JMXxxx is a decent  
competitor to those platforms.   The 5260 is actually a decent NMS  
which is something I never thought I'd say about a NMS, although the  
pricing model isn't very good.
