The ASR1002 might work if you spread your risk across 2 
chassis', and is dense enough for your requirements but is 
fairly border-line. If you need even more expansion yet, you 
could get caught out. Needless to say, it'll only support a 
10Gbps ESP today. There's no indication, now, that the new 
40Gbps (or even the existing 20Gbps) ESP will be supported.

If you're finding the ASR1004 expensive, chances are 
anything larger won't be in favour either. In this case, I'd 
probably suggest Juniper's MX80. You can get decent 1Gbps 
and 10Gbps port density out of it. The only problem will be 
whether you're keen on considering Juniper, let alone a 
different vendor.

Cheers,

Mark.
