You can't really compare MX104 to MX204.  

The MX104 is ppc based and *slow*, and should have never ever shipped.

The MX204 is a really really nice box, with a fast intel RE and 40/100G
ports (though some - documented - restrictions on how they can be combined),
and from a RE/BGP point of view, en par with the larger MXes.

And given the price point of the MX204, if the amount of interfaces is
sufficient, just get two of them :-)
