Yes thanks for mentioning that.  

My opinion would be to use a MX480 like someone else said just due to the increased slot capacity, over the 9006 or 240.

Note that the support for up to 1.3 million routes is split into IPv4 scaled support and IPv4/IPV6 scaled support. You can configure up to 1.3 million IPv4 routes, or up to 1 million IPv4 routes with 128,000 IPv6 routes.
