Agree.

The majority of ISP's will still find the CRS and CRS-X more 
than sufficient, especially if they're still going to dabble 
with non-Ethernet ports (SONET/SDH, mostly), and Gig-E.

Juniper's MX480/960 will be other options still at play, in 
a world where we're now seeing the NCS and PTX.

The NCS and PTX have their place in the eco system, but it 
won't be for everyone. Not in the medium term anyway.
