These are all valid theoretical constrains.
Yet MX104/MX80 system capacity is 80Gbps and ASR9k1 is 120Gbps.
And as we all know if you shift from the ideal packet size and pure IP routing 
the forwarding performance deteriorates more quickly on juniper NPs compared to 
cisco NPs.
Also the RP on ASR9k1 is faster than one used in MX104.
So I'd say ASR9k1 is better box than MX104/MX80.
