The GRP/PRP handles BGP, so only the GRP/PRP DRAM would have to deal 
with the full views and that won't be changing for you.  The xRP 
distills routes to a forwarding table that's loaded in each LC; this 
won't change either so you'll be fine (if not better off with the better 
Engine in these cards).
