To be honest, both platforms can be Ethernet-centric (more favour toward
the ASR9001, though).

The main difference is that the ASR9001 gets a lot of forwarding
performance in a 2U platform that you might be need an ASR1006-X,
ASR1009-X or ASR1013 for.

But most importantly, if you require high-touch services such as NAT,
Firewalling, IPSec, e.t.c., then the ASR1000 is a better fit than the
ASR9001.
