Thanks for all the insight everyone...very helpful discussion! Has anyone see the SRX deployed in these situations? We have been talking to Juniper about the ACX, and they seem to be pushing it as a Metro E, or in situations where you don't need a lot of features (like a L2 agg point for wire

If you need high-er density 10GE. Consider an Juniper ACX5048. Great edge box, MPLS features, it's essentially just a QFX with repartitioned CAM / some tricks to get the most out of the Trident II chipset. Won't do a bunch of things, so make sure it's exactly what you need or you'll burn yourself
