ASR920 or so... throughput will be fine, price of 2000$ "should" be
achievable (depending on interface and license options).
The caveat, of course, is that it will do exactly 20k prefixe, no more
- so if you might go "up to 30k", it's not the platform
Or a used 7201 / 7200/NPE-G2... dirt cheap, 500k+ prefixes, but not much
more than 500Mbit/s throughput.
Your triangle of "number of prefixes / price / throughput" is hitting a
somewhat weak spot in Cisco's portfolio...
