To get Junos (currently only one option, "JSE") you order SRX1500-JSE. Yes, there are now separate support SKUs for hardware and software. It'd be 5 line items if you wanted a redundant PSU.

In answer to the earlier question, the SRX1500 uses a 2.5GHz Xeon chip (this is what our SE told me). It has an FPGA that is apparently not being used heavily yet but will see use in future software upgrades. I think this is related to the fact that the expansion slots are intended for hardware PFE/offloading cards, not [just?] interfaces. This all makes sense since the 15.x JUNOS releases are DPDK compatible so the forwarding on a Xeon platform should be really solid. The SRX340 apparently [still] runs a Cavium Octeon. We've been talking to Juniper about the explosion of part numbers that you now have to order to get a SRX1500. Apparently there will be some bundles coming out later in the year which make this simpler, but right now you'd need to order the main SKU, plus a rack mount kit, plus power supplies, plus support for the chassis, JUNOS software and then support for the software. We could 6 part numbers as the minimum to get a working box (i.e. these are required). As noted above, the list price for the basic JUNOS software (SRX1500-JSE) is the same as for the box itself (SRX1500-AC).
