I would say not just for the MX, but also for the M- and T-
series routers, particularly spending lots of time on which 
PIC's can support what features. Many times this isn't 
really known, and it's hard to sometimes know what 
improvements/fixes, if any, a "PIC-E" has over a regular 
"PIC", or what a "PIC-2E" has over a "PIC-E", particularly 
when it comes to 802.1ad and friends.

I wish there was a way for Juniper to abstract this so that 
I didn't care so much about which PIC's I bought. It's 
annoying.
