Yep, but one issue with the Nokia is there is not really something that terribly comfortably fits the bill for the OP anyway. The closest affordable unit would be a 7750-a4 (lets say 50k once you have the cards/licences/support) which is a 100G FDX (or a8 200G) unit which is fine but 2.5M routes will be your absolute max. After that you need to jump to the 7750-sr-e or sr-7 and you are not getting any change out of 100k to even power it on. Alternatively the 7750-VSR-A appliance will run you about 50k plus a bunch per 10G you need but will swallow the tables real easy. So you have a 50k realistic starting point for Nokia's with either route table or bandwidth licence restrictions. Where as an MX150 is well below 20k and the MX204 above that still being viable. Yes I use a bunch of 7750-sr's at $dayjob and am very thankful for them, but feeding and watering them is not for those who don't have readily available high six figure or seven figure budgets.
