The 440 is a beast. Faster even than the 9001's RP. You'll be fine with
a LOT of BGP edge work. :)

The RSP880 is faster on paper, but I'll be impressed if you notice a
difference over the 440 in terms of solely basic BGP edge functions. It
of course has support for other things that you might need, however.

(No idea why this would need to be offlist...)
