Another point to consider is the Hardware End of Life Announcement for various DPCs, e.g. PSN-2011-07-314 Hardware End of Life Announcement - DPCE-R-Q-40GE-SFP, DPCE-R-Q-4XGE-XFP, DPCE-X-20GE-2XGE, and DPCE-R-2XGE-XFP PSN-2011-07-315 Hardware End of Life Announcement - DPCE-X-40GE-TX It seems rather obvious that Juniper wants to guide customers towards MPC/MIC.
