seconded.  I don't like using them for single-homed customer edge
because the software upgrade and patch process is a complete pain and
will cause prolonged downtime unless you have dual rsps, in which case
you'll only end up with prolonged downtime if you're doing major
upgrades or have a requirement which can only be solved by turbobooting.

They're great for dual-homed customer edge and inter-as duty though.
