Colton,

We recently opted for the Arista 7280R2K for peering edge.  They come in at
similar price points (maybe a little more?) to the MX204 and are a bit higher 
capacity.

Worth a look in.

Cheers,

Patrick

   For around $11,000 right now, you can get a brand new Juniper MX204
   router. Alternatively, you can get a used MX240 / MX480 with quad power
   supplies, redundant quad core RE's, and 2 16X10G MIC cards for around
   $12,000.
   My question, is there anything else worth looking at in this price range /
   port configuration? Open to both new and used options. Looking to take
   full BGP routes.
