I've found that if Cisco is presented with competing quotes for
comparable equipment (eg. MX204 versus ASR9901) then they have inventive
to price their products competitively.  That said, a lot of SP's in the
Canadian market are moving to the MX204 because of the pricing and Cisco
was late to ingest that fact internally.
