you don't require redundant routing engines, there is
nothing from Juniper that will cost less and have the
capacity you require. In fact, there really aren't any
cheaper MX options at all, other than the kneecapped MX80
and MX104 variants. MX204 is really a nice box. I only wish
they had a redundant version.</div>

The MX80 and MX104 have no business being in any modern conversation
these days :-).<br>
<br>
For what you could do with it, the MX204 is pretty neat. Juniper
have never really considered the Metro in a serious way, because if
they did, they'd have an MX204-1G (if you can call it that).<br>
<br>
They've lost plenty of ground to Cisco's ASR920 (and older MX3600X)
on the back of this.<br>
