That is is true - the difference in price "of the chassis" 
would even have your Juniper account team baffled enough as 
to why you'd insist on an MX240 and not an MX480, that 
they'll probably just give you the chassis upgrade for free 
to shut you up and move the meeting along :-).

But that's not the point - when we consider space 
requirements, cost of the MX-FPC, DPC (and now, MPC) cards 
for the MX-series, where an ASR1000 would suffice better, 
Cisco have a better lead.

Yep, let's wait and see.

Cheers,
