[j-nsp] M5 EoL .. worth buying used?

[Richmond, Jeff (ELI)]

The M5's are a pretty good box, but make sure you get one with an E-FPC. I retired our lab M5 because I ran in to so many things I can't do with a standard FPC, that it just wasn't worth the trouble dealing with any more.

Just trying to gather opinions on buying a used M5 even though they are 
EoL.  The price is great, and for a basic edge router for 100Mb/s it 
seems a better buy than anything Cisco of the same form factor and 
cost.  Anyone with supportability experience?

Thanks,

Jason
