[j-nsp] router recommendation

[David Ball]

  Another option to get the MX80 pricing down is to ask your account team
about the disabling of 2 of the 10Gig ports and disabling of one of the MICs
(in the modular ver, anyways).  It's all done in software, and brings the
price down a good chunk.  Then, if you need 'em later, it's a software
license to re-enable them (which ends up making the device cost more
overall, but you save $$ on the front end).
