Well, in the diagram, it's just a test network setup so that I get
everything working in a controlled environment, then can replicate
elsewhere.
It's more universal than EoIP.
A learning experience for when I need MPLS in the future.
A marketing feature. If a customer sees that Global Crossing, AT&T, etc.
provide their connectivity over an MPLS network, it certainly bodes well for
me if I can say the same, even if it means nothing to your average user.
It passes packets that are a full 1500 bytes.

One out of 5 routers I setup with MPLS doesn't respond to Winbox well

Once I disable MPLS, all is well. Below is the MPLS export for the
failing
router. To the best of my knowledge I followed the directions on the
wiki.
What is the reason you think MPLS is needed for such a network? MPLS
offers absolutely NO benefit on such a small network. It is added
overhead only.
