Am just starting to eval an MX960, but have heard nothing but good things about it. Have been happy with our T-series thus far, and I don't expect many disappointments with the MX. I consider both the MX and T-series to be extraordinarily expensive (DPCs, FPCs, PICs), but if price is no object, you'd be hard pressed to beat the performance/functionality. That said, I've worked with the Foundry NetIron XMR (big brother to the MLX) and was very happy with it. The only things I had issue with were the inability to classify/assign traffic to a VPN based on an 'inner' VLAN tag (I'm told this feature is coming), and L3VPNs/VRFs only support 262k routes, scarcely enough to hold today's global routing table. If you don't need either of those things (most people don't), the XMR is a very capable platform and provides *very* significant cost savings over Juniper, so you'll be a hit with the bean counters. Juniper's config/CLI is pretty different than most vendors (and far superior, in my opinion), so if you're currently a Cisco shop, there'll be a learning curve for your Ops staff. Not sure if that matters to you.
