All inclusive, we have found the J2320 to be cheaper than 
Cisco's 7201 router for route reflector applications (even 
after purchasing the route reflection licenses, something 
I'm not too fond of from Juniper, but hey...).

We are looking to use them, as a start, in smaller PoP's 
where we probably have only a handful of full routes and 
quite a number of VPN NLRI (L2, L3), and only need to use a 
couple RU's of rack space.

I only wish they (officially) supported more than 1GB of 
memory.

Cheers,

Mark.
