I've implemented multi context Master/Backup with MPLS L3vpn, and rt 
import/export.
It's cleaner, but more complex.

We are not unhappy with our two SE400 (as LNS only) but they are soon 
out of support.
So we are looking for replacment for at least five more years, and the 
Ericson/Redback hardware looks a bit outdated and so expensive. (15K for 
a SE100, are they serious ?)
On the other hand we had to evalute the human cost of the configuration 
migration from redback to another device.
