Smaller ones as cheap access devices with or without (or even together 
with) MPLS—maybe. Check the latest thread on J-series. Just couple of 
days ago someone has given a good brief of how they use SRX100 in access 
with MPLS.

Full BGP, wire-rate—just forget. You can do full BGP on SRX650 though 
branch SRX have a bit slow control plane so… I would not recommend. 
Lower ones can't hold that hell of routes, they also can't be reflectors 
at all.

SRX3k and 5k—if you don't need a powerful firewall, just don't go there. 
It's cool as stateful device but as a packet router it will cost as at 
least two MX80 and have much less performance.
