[j-nsp] MX5-T-DC vs MX80-5G-DC-B

[Paul Stewart]

There are bundles and then there are "base units".  The bundles typically
include the MIC-3D-20GE-SFP - there were no MIC's that I'm aware of that
weren't 3D ... definitely not on the MX80 platform.  Yes, MX5 is modular....
it's physically the same as an MX80 box, just with software based
restrictions in place (which unless it's changed are honor system based
still) as noted by "4x10G fixed ports and 1x front empty MIC slot
restricted" .. restricted = not usable without software upgrade.

I agree the specs look to be the same, the only difference I can see is the
MX5 says it includes a MIC-3D-20GE-SFP and the MX80 a 20x1G MIC. 
Did they make a MIC that wasn't 3D?

I'm pretty sure the MX5 is modular as well since it has the open MIC slot
that you can get an upgrade license to be able to use.

the MX5 they seem to have the same specs.  Is there something that I'm
missing?  Does anyone on the list know why one might want the MX80-5G-DC-B
vs the MX5-T-DC?
