You could look at rolling your own box, if you budget/needs are small.
Quagga/Zebra running on Linux, or a more professional/supported side
you could go with Vyatta.
I personally have a handful of Vyatta boxes in two sites, taking
several full BGP feeds and works well.
Juniper is also making small enterprise routers based on the MX80
platform, but with reduced number of interfaces. They should be out
soon
