Pretty cool, and they have 16GB on those RE's too.

Will ask my account team about the price, but I could 
probably only justify this in the "centre" of my network.

Across the country, smaller PoP's would need to rely on 
their own clusters, and those would be the smaller routers, 
i.e., 7201's.

route reflector role.
