Bear in mind that the MX80 is now in the EoL process, you have <4 years of support left.  Depending on your expected life-time / depreciation rules, buying one new right now might be unwise.

Do *not* throw a full table at it (or any of the PowerPC Junipers) unless you have a lot of patience for reconvergence, and black-holes while you wait.

MX104 is a nice box for getting dual-RE in something relatively compact and cheap, and has environmental hardening if that matters to you, but is still not best pleased with full tables.

OP could do with clarifying "cheap" :)
