I'd stick with what you know unless you plan to terminate hundreds of thousands of things in which case cisco isn't a great choice. They two platforms are similar but 7301 is relatively new. Anything new from cisco I recommend to avoid for atleast a year so that you aren't an alpha tester.
The npe-g1 is not exactly a new product, it was introduced in early 2003 if I'm not mistaken. The 7301 was introduced later that year.

Are the two solutions effectively the same box or are there more technical differences beyond the obvious number of slots. Without wanting to start one of those sorts of threads is it time to look at something else, i.e. Juniper, for cost / performance, or should I stick with the heard and what I know in Cisco.
