If I'm honest, the ASR1000 is not a platform I'd spend money on, going

Focus on the MX and ASR9000, I'd say.

Understood, and if my poor 7606 wasn't running out of TCAM I could
continue to run with it for years to come. I looked at the ASR9001,
but I see all the grumblings about it being only 32bit, and the 9901 is
just way to damn expensive for my blood, that much I know. I was
debating between the 1006/RP2 and the 9001 units, and it looked like the
1006 would be good old IOS like I am used to, not that I couldn't
adjust, and had lots of redundancy available with redundant RP's and ESP's.
I also mentioned looking at Juniper on their list, and man did many
come back telling me that JunOS could be a nightmare with commands
changing from release to release, and that if I wasn't used to JunOS
already (which I am not) that it would drive me batty.
I guess in short I need a unit that can handle 2-3 full BGP feeds, and
also a bunch of peers at Equinix, and on top of that I need like 6-8
10GE interfaces on the router, as I can pass off most traffic to another
access switch to all of the local hardware in the racks. Outside of that
I need some VLAN trunks and life in general is good..
