It should handle some 400-500 dual-stacked PPPoE-over-VLAN sessions with speeds ranging from 30-200 Mbit/s (strong bias towards the lower speeds). Research on the Cisco website pointed me to the ASR-1001X, which seems to support what we need (broadband feature set, shaping/policing dual-stacked sessions via RADIUS, GE/10GE ports, sufficient aggregate bandwidth, price within budget). Since the 1001-X is a relatively new platform, has anyone real world experience with this platform as PPPoE BRAS for small scale high speed DSL aggregation or would you recommend another model?

The ASR1000 is generally what you want. Exact model won't matter much,
of course, until you hit its forwarding limits.

ASR9000 for the big boys.

MX240/480/960/2000 from the Juniper side.

The ALU routers are also decent BNG's.
