I'm not sure why you say pricey? In terms of port cost/slot/chassis/
space/power cost. With the SIP/SPA's the density of the 7609 is 
outstanding. If you don't need the ports then obviously its pricey
but if you are using this as PE or PE-AGG its great. The only thing
the 7600 is missing is improved DSL aggregation capabilities, interms
of unit cost per customer, and customer type, the 7609 is a hard target
to beat.
