Other than the amount of CPU capacity on the MX80 (which has been done
to death here) do you really have RE's fail often enough to be a problem?

Sure on the larger boxes they're cheap enough that if you're really
loading the boxes you might as well have one, but if you add it up I
doubt they save that much downtime.

The most common failure I've seen on Juniper RE's (by far) is HDD
failures, which is largely mitigated on current kit with SSD's.
