I think it is by design as well, but really defeating the purpose therefore misleading us – the loyal customers.   Juniper is an excellent platform, but sometimes you want / need to start small and grow into a device.  Like previously mentioned, the MX104 is pretty ridiculous.  I am sure Juniper lost some loyal Juniper fans over this as the bean counters are saying, “what do you mean it is going to cost that much more $$$ to enable the 10g ports that are just sitting there.”  In my opinion, they should have at least made it the same cost, or maybe a little more money.  It is actually cheaper for the guys that bought MX104’s to buy a new MX204, than to upgrade the MX104 Base effectively making the initial MX104 an expensive boat anchor.

    I think that is by design :-).
