There's absolutely no reason why this would be considered. The fact that you
would make that statement leads me to believe that people might not
understand why the SRX product line was created in the first place.

The entire SRX product line (branch and high-end) covers the performance
spectrum across M and MX series but were created specifically as
purpose-built security devices and therefore should be implemented as such.
In addition, in order to do high-end processing of (stateful) flows you need
dedicated and specific hw to achieve desired performance. That hw doesn't
exist on MX and T series. It only exists on high-end SRX (ie SPUs).

Thanks, Chris
