I'll chime in and say that the 7450/7750 are very nice boxes. Their non-stop routing feature is something that other vendors are barely starting to support, years after they started doing it. Now they are onto features like cross-chassis 802.3ad, etc. that no one else is doing in a SP router platform. The 7450 which is priced against switch-like devices like the C76xx and the JMXxxx is a decent competitor to those platforms. The 5260 is actually a decent NMS which is something I never thought I'd say about a NMS, although the pricing model isn't very good.
