Not that I am a big fan of PC based or even *nix routers, one could make the argument that at <$3000 for 16 routed ports (a price someone mentioned on here) it would be very inexpensive (relatively) to keep fully configured spare chassis around for less than the price of a comparably equiped Cisco. Then again, some of us keep fully configured spare Ciscos around and still get SMARTnet Onsite 4 hour. I guess it just depends what your customers pay for.
