You can get flexible licensing on the PTX1000 today, where the 72x ports
are sold in chunks of 18x per license.

Currently, the 8201 is very closely priced to the PTX1000. The problem
is the 8201 supports only 12x 100Gbps ports, while the PTX1000 can
deliver 24x 100Gbps, in addition hundreds of 10Gbps ports (which the
8201 cannot support).

The 8202 would be closer to the PTX1000 and PTX10002, but the lack of
10Gbps support is a real problem.

Also, both the 8201 and 8202 give you only 2x power supplies, while you
get 4x power supplies in all the PTX fixed form factor routers bar the
PTX10003 (which provides 2x 3000W PSU's).

Mark.
