i'm have approximately the same requirements as Mark and considering the
MX480 vs M120 choice, so i very much appreciate the comments folks have
made about the MX series. we have an M120 and are happy with it, but
there is a substantial price difference between the MX480 and M120, and
we have no need for non-ethernet interfaces.

Mark did not mention multicast explicitly; we need this router to do IPv4/IPv6
multicast. has anyone got any experience with multicast on the MX series?

thanks,
ken

p.s.: it's worth noting that adding "tunnel PIC capability" to an MX, in order to
have it act as an RP, uses a full slot in the chassis.
