Recently evaluated the Juniper MX and no hesitation recommending it. The 
feedback from everyone I dealt with was that it was well engineered, 
stable, and does what it says it does.

Have heard some positive things about the Foundry NetIrons, especially 
in terms of value for money, but can't speak from experience there.
