Well - that's understandable, this is how capitalism works.
But this is not a good long-term strategy. Annoy technicians with such
things (how much is there for Cisco to gain if I have to purchase a 1603R
because my trusty 2503 isn't supported anymore?) - and they'll find that
the same technicians will one day be *so* annoyed that they will stop
recommending 7206VXRs and go purchase M10's...
(I was already nearly going down that road when I found out that the
smaller NPEs can only take 128Mb RAM and that this won't suffice much
longer for "full BGP" - good news was that the NPE-225 *can* take more,
so not all hope is lost yet).
