Even with their specialized hardware platform, bus, and

dual or quad 10G modules. However you can do 100,000 line
ACLs at that speed. It is built for a different
application than core routing. However, an XMR or Sup720
will still be a lot cheaper...

The chassis and switch fabric would generally be affordable 
(it'd normally be a bundle). It's the cost of the 10-Gig-E 
line cards that is the enemy.
