The MX80 is a Trio-based platform.

The DPC's are older tech., and some features you might be accustomed to
on the MX80 may not be supported on the DPC's. Don't take this lightly,
there are a lot of things you may take for granted on the Trio whose
absence (or eccentricities) will shock you on the DPC. If you can, avoid
the DPC's.

A more current RE means you can run more recent Junos releases. I
haven't run the RE-S-2000 in a while, so not sure how well it's
supported by current Junos releases (someone else who has the older RE's
might want to chime in). The 64-bit RE's also give you more memory,
which is always useful.
