HA HA HA HA. Sorry, had to laugh. Is my PCI Pentium limited to 64Mb RAM
and can only carry ~30k routes? No.
Neither is your 7000. ;-) Wherever you got your numbers from,
they're wrong.
For a T1 line or Ethernet,
especially locally in the US (not here) the cost of the router *outweighs*
the cost of the line, and so commercial decisions will be made based on
router cost.
For a T1, perhaps the monthly charge, but over the lifetime of the
line, I don't believe this.
