It's a good question where Cisco will position it. It's a good little box 
if you go for the NSE-100 with PXF to do all the features quite happily.

It's a bit lacking in the interface department and it's quite a bit bigger 
than the 7200 when it comes to interface density, ie you get 6 T3 
interfaces in a single card, which is good in some cases, but quite 
expensive in others (if you don't need all the ports).

It's decently priced though, especially compared to the Juniper offerings.
