"full BGP" or "receive a default route plus a bit of I2"?

If I understood this right, one of the L3 switches (3750/3650 series)
or an ASR920 *might* actually do the job for you - fast, BGP to some 
limit, and *cheap* in comparison.

For a full table and 2x 10G, it would be ASR1k or ASR9001, but that
would be like 5-10x the price of an ASR920...

(Avoiding the question about "other vendors" because I have no idea)
