The MX80 and MX104 have no business being in any modern conversation
these days :-).

For what you could do with it, the MX204 is pretty neat. Juniper have
never really considered the Metro in a serious way, because if they did,
they'd have an MX204-1G (if you can call it that).

They've lost plenty of ground to Cisco's ASR920 (and older MX3600X) on
the back of this.
