That might be true, but have a look at the following article: they
outperform a 26xx. (Ok, I admit, a 26xx is not a power-monster, but it's
in the same price range as the small rebels)...

Imagestream uses Cisco list prices to sell their wares. No sane person that
buys from Cisco pays list price.

If one wants to complete with Cisco in a router business, they cannot claim
that it costs $3411 to get 2x T1 router by Cisco or that 7507 chassis is
$21,700.
