Another option to get the MX80 pricing down is to ask your account team about the disabling of 2 of the 10Gig ports and disabling of one of the MICs (in the modular ver, anyways). It's all done in software, and brings the price down a good chunk. Then, if you need 'em later, it's a software license to re-enable them (which ends up making the device cost more overall, but you save $$ on the front end).
