[j-nsp] Juniper M-series vs 72xx/NPE-G2

[Eric Van Tol]

Keep in mind that the recert process not only costs money, but I don't
believe Juniper will recert EOL gear, which the M5/M10 and RE-2.0 are.

As for the cost of new gear, in your case, you have working Cisco gear
which may provide you a discount.  Juniper sometimes runs specials where
you can trade in Cisco 7200s for a discount off M7i routers.  This was a
few years ago, so I'm not sure if they still do it now.
