I bought a Riverstone Rs-3000 for BGP with a single upstream provider.
Great Deal.  

Yeah, it might be a Great Deal (tm), but you're in for some surprises. 
I've seen an RS-8600 (with CM3 and 512MB on board) nearly melt under 
13Mbps of Nachi, to the point that I had to set the CM failover 
keepalive timer to >30 seconds.

This should come as no surprise - the Riverstone boxes are flow-based.
