Are you sure on the ES20 prices, Saku?  The 6724-SFP runs $15k plus 
another $15k for the 3CXL DFC.  The ES20-GECXL runs $60k and has the DFC 
built in.  The basic ES20 comes with the BASIC-LIC which includes: ES20 
Basic License: No MVPN, IPv6, 6VPE, and L3 IP/MPLS VPN.  The ADVIP-LIC 
includes With MVPN, IPv6, 6VPE, and L3 IP/MPLS VPN and is another $40k. 
  The ES20 is also one of those special linecards that requires a 
dedicated SmartNet.  24x7x4 runs another $13,440 per year.  The 6700 
series cards are covered under the Sup's SmartNet.  Those are list 
prices in US $s.

I know that the US dollar has taken a beaten this year but is it that 
bad? :-)
