Having been running SRA/SRA1/SRA2 on several chassis since it came out, at 
this point I'm ready to go back to SX anyways. The SR branch has so far 
proven to be HORRIBLY unstable in production, even for Cisco, and all the 
features in the world aren't worth anything if you can't keep the box 
running. I can't imagine why Cisco wants to shoot themselves in the foot 
like this, but at least they picked a good time to do it.

I don't have much positive to say about Force10 for NSP use really, but 
having spent some time playing with the new Juniper MX960 platform I think 
that Cisco's 6500/7600 NSP sales are about to get murdered. It's certainly 
not cheap, but IMHO Juniper did a good job of pricing it based on exactly 
how much more it is worth than an equivalent 6500.
