What do you call the edge of the network when you are calling your core the edge?

I've been eyeing one for the edge for several months now, and it's getting to the point where we probably need to pull the trigger sooner rather than later. It looks like for a edge device I might only need the base licensing, but it's hard to tell for sure.

New with licensing it’s under 20k (negotiate hard and you can get it closer to 15k). Very powerful without the power, space, and line card expense of the MX80. The only real drawback to them is they are a single routing engine rather than dual. Having said that I can’t recall any time that we have had a routing engine fail on a MX series router. Used to happen all the time on our Cisco 7500’s - but we are talking ancient history there. We run a pair of MX204’s now, though we used a single one for a long time.
