Thank you, that is great to know and have for reference. Yeah, looking at this invoice from a a few months back, I have a "MX80 Promotional 5G Bundle for channels"... So I'm guessing that's now the MX5. (I had assumed it was a mx80 in my response).
My first Juniper box ever, so forgive my confusion. As you might guess, I'm only pushing ~3 gig through it... but am very happy with it so far.
