I went ahead and picked up a 7301 for now. It should do the job for a while.

I use them and like them. NPE has a faster CPU but doesn't have the PXF accelerator. It's slower for raw routing but faster at broadband agg, route reflector, "features". IMO you'd normally chose a NPE-Gsomething in a 7200 instead of NPE in 7304 unless you want the route engine redundancy option or other line cards.

The side-by-side comparison chart makes the NSE look better, but I'm not sure what the more specialized processor(s) in the NSE does/does not do well. -Jason
