Yep.  This is far from the first time Juniper has done this.  Remember
the original J2300, with only one T1 port licensed?  IIRC there are
several SRX models with low/high RAM versions where it is just a
license.

The amount Juniper saves by not having to stock different hardware
probably comes close to paying for the difference in manufacturing
costs (and then a fair number of customers will upgrade by buying a
license key over time to make up the difference).
