Hi Patrick,
The Cisco's 7201 works perfectly as CPE, they support most protocol and are
even a bit evolutive.
As your budget is a limitation, one option is to get a 7201 from the
official market, so with all guarantees and support you need from Cisco and
your reseller and grab a second one from the grey market / refurbished. You
can find some fair deals on ebay for US 8000$, or even have a second 3825
from ebay for 2-3k. Then you may want to have your 7201 populated with
ISP#1 on 0/0, SwissIX on 0/1 and your HSRP link on 0/2, then you would have
your ISP#2 on the 0/0 and HSRP on the 0/1 of your 3825.
You will have to pick the right ISP on the main router and you have your HA
routing cluster working fine for a fair price. Once you have the budget to
consolidate you grab a second 7201 and you just do it the best way.
Cheers.
