Fair point, bringing an MX240/480/960 chassis from 2009 up-to-scratch in 2018 could be costlier than going for an MX204. My suggestion would be that if you want to retain the benefits of a chassis, dump the MX240 and move to an MX480, and put in the new line cards and RE. Otherwise, if you have a limited budget and need more bang for you $$ right away, the MX204 will be a better option. But keep in my mind that this may or may not be good enough for your long term plans, depending on your use-case.
