+1 for the command structure and configuration being pretty simple to
follow if you're used to a Cisco or Juniper.
In the main they are pretty good at what they do I guess but I'm not
sure whether or not we're having seriously bad luck or there's something
else a miss but sadly we've had a near 50% hardware failure rate on some
of the cards we have deployed in our 7750 SR12 infrastructure.
Reply off list if you need any more information.

The show stuff is certainly there but the config is a bit different. You may have to get
used to using the "info" command. :)
They also use logical IP interfaces which are then tied to physical, you don't directly
configure L3 on a physical interface. You also have designations between service and
network physical interfaces, although nowadays they can be set as "hybrid.".
It's really pretty simple if you are used to a Cisco or Juniper. They have tab
and ? completion now for both commands as well as elements similar to Junos
which is helpful.

I will be getting one to try. I am pretty sure it will support the ol'
"show ? , config ?" If not that might be a problem :-)

What's the price point of an SR-A4? Comparable to the MX104 or ASR9001?

If you know Juniper and Cisco, the learning curve isn't so bad to pick

the ALU CLI, after working with it for a brief time, you catch on
quickly.
Their products are quite impressive, and a # of the carriers, are moving
to
them and some have already moved to them and are quite happy with their
decision.

They are definitely good for that. We use them in part of our network

something very similar.
I am not sure why they aren't mentioned that much. I know that they
have
been pretty popular in the past couple years.
We are planning on using 7750 SR-a4's in the future but right now we
mainly have 7750SR7/12s.

The new 7750 SR-a4 looks like a Juniper MX80 or MX104 killer.

Brocade MLXe, and Juniper MX line?
