[c-nsp] 7206vxr/300 vs 7507/rsp4

[Rodney Dunn]

Almost never will you find that kind of comparison
because there are so many different factors.

A 72xx and a 75xx are totally different
architectures.

If you need a couple FE/GE's and a lot of memory
to hold the BGP feeds if I were you I'd look at
the 7301.

75xx really works better if you need RP redundancy
and need more port density.
