This.

If you're after a (true) P router and can handle a BGP-free core the
5100 should be good enough for most networks not big enough to justify a
PTX, at a fraction of the cost.

Sure there's not the redundancy of a PTX, but given that you can buy a
pair of 5100's at list and I'm fairly sure would still be cheaper than
the PTX.
