[j-nsp] MX80 vs MX40

[Amarjeet Singh]

Hello -  HW for MX40 & MX80 is same.
No HW upgrade needed to MX40->MX80, it's just software license required

MX40 allows to use built in 2 x 10G ports out of total 4,
Where MX80 allows to use all 4 x 10G ports.

I would not recommend refurbished routers.

Br, Amarjeet
