And in typical Cisco style we've all come to love it's really hard to find
a single table with the relevant performance figures for all the different models. :-(

pps/bps - yes, routes - no.

I finally found this:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/routers/asr-1000-series-aggregation-services-routers/datasheet-c78-731640.html

Summary:

Cisco ASR 1002-HX with Integrated ESP Module
Up to:
4,000,000 IPv4 or 4,000,000 IPv6 routes
Multicast: 100,000 routes and 44,000 groups

Cisco ASR 1001-HX with Integrated ESP Module
Up to:
1,000,000 IPv4 or 1,000,000 IPv6 routes with 8-GB memory
3,500,000 IPv4 or 3,000,000 IPv6 routes with 16-GB memory
Multicast: 64,000 routes and 4000 groups

Cisco ASR 1001-X with Integrated ESP Module and 8-GB Memory
Up to:
1,000,000 IPv4 or 1,000,000 IPv6 routes with 8-GB memory
3,500,000 IPv4 or 3,000,000 IPv6 routes with 16-GB memory
Multicast: 100,000 routes and 4,000 groups

Cisco ASR 1002-X with Integrated 36-Gbps ESP Module and 8-GB Memory
Up to:
500,000 IPv4 or 500,000 IPv6 routes with 4-GB memory
1,000,000 IPv4 or 1,000,000 IPv6 routes with 8-GB memory
3,500,000 IPv4 or 3,000,000 IPv6 routes with 16-GB memory
Multicast: 64,000 routes and 4,000 groups

So ... as long as it's at least a 1001-X with 16 GB of memory we should be good to go.
The "up to 20 Gbps" are definitely enough for now.

Thanks, guys, I'll continue to discuss details and prices with my supplier.
