would the general public on this list agree and say that with us approaching
256k routes the use of the smaller 65xx based boxes makes only very limited

that task than any 6503/6504/6524ME or 7206.

If one compares the M5/M7i with 7304, what would you chose? I will happily
favour Juniper over any and all Cisco boxes personally - less limitations.
