With the risk of sounding blunt, but have you thought of asking a local
Cisco sales person? The information package that resellers get is
pretty informational in this respect; the package comes with a binder
with comparisons between various Cisco equipment and the counterparts of
several other hardware vendors like 3Com, Lucent, Foundry and of course
Juniper.
I don't have that binder in my possession, otherwise I'd quote it to
you, of course, but if you're not loading your M5 full with GigE
interfaces (i.e. you're not going to use anywhere near its full
forwarding capacity) a Cisco 7206 or 7507 might just stand in its shadow.
