Possibly, except the 4300 seem to be sold with bandwidth limitations.
The 4321 is limited to 50M, upgradeable to 100M.
The 4331 is limited to 100M, upgraeable to 300M.
Means the OP would need to 4331 with the bandwidth upgrade option to get the
>100M he was looking for.
It does depend if you're buying new or 2nd hand, but I would think that even
purchasing new should be able to get a 2911 for less than 4331 with 300M
upgrade option. Although at that low end of the scale, an extra grand or two
might not make that much difference.
regards,
Tony.

I agree - and the very fact that when browsing for routers on cisco's website -
by default for branch routers -as of a few weeks ago - only the 4xxx and the
8xx are shown. It's a multitude of clicks to see the ISRg2's.
Check this link - it's the new router performance sheet, I've been using it to
size up new client branch routers (well in the last 2 weeks)

A regular googleing turns up the ISRG2 version, not this newer one.

Both of those options are quite probably overkill for what you've described. If
a 2811 is currently doing what you need in the deployment and the only change
is an increase in speed, just go with the next step up. For what you've
described a 2911 would easily fit what you want and I imagine it would be a lot
cheaper than either ISR4000 or ARS920. Depends whether you want something new
and shiny or something that will just get the job done. If you want to purchase
a router now for some future upgrade, then you'd have to take a stab at what
you think the upgrade might be and when you think it might happen and then
purchase something that you think might be sufficient for that.

Actually price-wise the 4331s are very close in cost to a 2921, and for most
workloads, significantly higher performance. Looking at Cisco's last several
generations of branch routers, the performance of the next-gen model one step
down is about the same as the previous generation. So a 2921->4331 for the
same price, or a 4321 for the same performance level and less money.
Unless you're buying on the used market or have a very specific need for
something only available in the ISR G2 platform, I'd be looking at the ISR 4Ks
as a replacement. I wouldn't be surprised to hear the ISR G2s get announced
for EOL in the next 6-12 months looking at Cisco's previous release cycles for
branch routers.
