We deployed ASR9K network recently. We had to open 14 TAC case in two 
months installation cycle.

I would not say so: We have ben  using ASR1K for about 2 years now.  We 
had lots of headache last year. TAC case opened and remained open for 4-5 
months: sudden drop of traffic (sometimes after few minutes uptime, 
sometimes days of uptime) on certain broadband conections. TAC did 
not have clue where is the problem. Then bug suddenly disappeard without 
knowing what caused the problem.
