The MX10003 seems like a good fit from a cost perspective verses something like an MX240, but also from a feature and performance perspective because it uses the same hardware as the MX204 in terms of EA Trios and CPU on the MPC, along with the CPU and memory on the RE (except the MX204 has 32GB on the RE as opposed to 64GB on the MX10003).

We like the MX10003 as a 100Gbps edge router. It comes with the
additional port density and hardware redundancy that the MX204 doesn't
have, so it does have a role to play.

For customers that want 100Gbps ports, we will dump them on the MX10003.
