Not sure how you count up to 80Gbps. Under normal circumstances you
would use the 4 fixed ports as uplinks, meaning 2x10Gbps towards two
uplink routers. So if you're extremely lucky with your load balancing,
you might do close to 40Gbps. Until one of your uplinks fails...

Aside from that, the lack of redundant control plane (as others have
mentioned) could be important.
