This doesn't make sense anymore form price/performance point of view.

The 7201 is a 7200 based off NPE-G1, and it's software-based router
priced at 24k$ GPL.

The ASR 1001 is hardware-based router that has 4 GE interfaces and
is priced at 17k$ with dual PSUs. The ASR 1001 can with proper license
do 5Gbit/s line-rate, while the 7201 is 1Mpps engine that will slow
down with every feature turned on.
