Scale-wise, the ME3800X is bigger than the ME3600X and ASR920. Not sure
if an RSP upgrade to the ASR903 would create a viable upgrade path for
the ME3800X.

Maybe Cisco are working on a version of the ASR920 that can replace the
ME3800X, given more of the software development and improvements in
hardware will be on the ASR920 anyway.
