Am I missing something..

So you say:

10.1.0.1 Anycast (x50 boxes)
10.2.0.1 Non-anycast

is somehow different from 

10.1.0.1 Anycast1 (x50 boxes)
10.2.0.1 Anycast2 (x50 boxes - different to anycast1)

In each scenario two systems have to fail to take out any one customer.. but 
isnt the bottom one better for the usual pro anycast reasons?
