We've been setting up some Arista DCS-7280CR2K-30-F lately and they have been just OK. The pricing is not at all close 
to $12,000 though.

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
