We've deployed the MX480s as PEs in multiple countries, and have been
pretty damn happy with them for the most part.
Any issues we've seen (largely around interface counters/statistics etc)
can be chalked up to an older JunOS version that we're running.
The CLI is shiny, and easy to use, and next to stablity, this is the
biggest factor when ranking a platform for me.

We have a couple installed as our edge routers.
Pluses - solid as a rock, easy to administer, and will take some extremely
high packet rates for relatively low cost (important for us since we use them
for VoIP traffic). If you're approaching the capacity of a 1GB uplink, I highly
recommend these as your first step to 10 GB.
Minuses - careful on your MX80 version. The MX80-48T includes a built in 48
port 1 GigE switch, but we've had compatibility issues with it and other
vendors switches. The modular version that replaces the MX80-48T costs quite a
bit more, but it does give you a lot more connection and compatibility options.

Subject: What do you think about the Juniper MX line?
Hello,
I've been doing some research into using the MX line of Juniper routers
and was interested in hearing people's experiences (the good, bad, and
ugly). What do you like about them? What do you dislike?
Where are you putting them in your network? Where are you not putting
them? Why? What other platforms would you consider and why? I hope to
hear some candid responses, but feel free to respond privately if you
need to.
Thanks!
