I appreciate your presence on other forums, but I'm pretty sure nobody 
here needs a basic explanation of how modern router platforms work. If 
you missed it, the question was specifically about juniper and bang for 
the buck and routing bgp on 10g and filtering.

Some folks helpfully suggested using strategies to to decrease the 
required size of the FIB, potentially meaning a lower box could do that 
job. That has some merit, as the OP was right in that for this job I 
don't really care about timbuktu more as whats 'close' to my two ip 
transit providers. I know nothing of juniper and I'm just wondering if 
MX80 is enough box for this or if I need to go higher up in the food 
chain. The one iptransit provider at my 'A' location appears to 
originate about 20 networks from various netblocks and this would be 
easy to statically enter into config while accepting defaults from both, 
achieving the same net result.
