[c-nsp] Peering Router/Switch

[Jeremy Bresley]

One correction on the pricing, to get a 9001S and upgrade later is about 
$11K list more than the difference between the 9001 and 9001-S.  So if 
you know you're going to need the full box in the near future, you can 
save some money by getting the larger one up front.

Also, you can start with ASR-9001-S (60 Gbps license-locked version) to cheap out, and then upgrade to full 120 Gbps later. The upgrade license cost is not penalizing as buying MX104/MX80 upgrade licenses.  You pretty much pay for the difference.
