Not really. The best direct comparison to the EX8200 is the Nexus 7k 
line, but 6500/7600s with LAN cards are at least a pretty close runner 
up (trading in some higher bandwidths and lower prices per port for a 
more mature platform with some features that haven't been written for 
EX8200 or N7K yet). Comparing 6500/7600 to MX is pretty apples to 
oranges, especially if you aren't talking about a 7600 stuffed full of 
expensive ES/SIP cards. You've really gotta get into ASR9k before you 
can even start to make a comparison to MX in most categories, which is 
no big shock considering ASR9k was made specifically to compete against 
the MX.
