To be honest - I haven't had a chance to push an 1800 in production 
yet so I really can't say. I'm only going on the cisco marketing 
figures and naturally they may vary wildly depending on actual usage. 
On paper, the 1800 and 3640 PPS ratings look about the same so you 
could be right.

But, from the original question - I know that the 87x series do have 
their limitations - I've hit them so the 1800 is the next step up 
from there. If price wasn't a problem then the 2800 would be a good choice.

Be interesting to hear some real-life comparisons on the 1800. I 
should have some data in a few months...
