We use ASR9010's as P routers in some PoP's and as P/PE 
routers in others. Solid box, no issues (although we just 
had to RMA a line card, but that's life).

What others have said is true, you could swap roles and make 
the 7600's P routers while using the ASR9010's as peering 
routers.

Of course, Ethernet ports will likely be cheaper on the 
ASR9000, considering the improved density and performance 
per slot; but you only need to worry about this if your core 
links are too dense for a 7600.

If you haven't yet bought the 7600's, use that money on the 
ASR1000's instead if all you need are border routers.

Cheers,

Mark.
