What's the difference between 12.0(21)S5, for example, and the 12.2(S)
series?  Is it the case that 12.2 "features" eventually trickle down
into the 12.0 line?  Is 12.2 simply the bleeding edge of the S-train?
Am assuming that since both are "S" that they would be suitable for
service provider roles.  Does anyone use 12.2(14)S on 7500s & 12000s? 
Experience here seems to center around the 7200s, of which I have none.

Am sure glad I don't have to spend this much time babysitting my
Junipers.  It's nice to have gear that works almost all the time,
instead of having bugs almost all the time like C.  Sorry- am just
venting a little.
