Which ASRs are you running?

I am a bog Mikrotik fan, but rely on cisco for our Core and Edge.
Our latest BGP config for Edge services are a Cisco ASR for
Primary, then we are running a CHR on top of our Vmware platform
for secondary BGP. we have several CHRs passing several gigs of
traffic and they are very solid. We have this deployed in 4
datacenters like this and it is working very well, keeps cost
down, and is very flexible.
Thank you,

Good morning.
I have a deep question for the Mikrotik people and the Cisco people.
Let me give you an overview of where we are.
Currently we have all of our tower sites using Mikrotik
connecting to our core with MPLS/VPLS to our core that is
multiple Mikrotik routers using VRRP (I had a core die from power
supply failure and our network didn't skip a beet while it was
replaced.) The VRRP core then connects to our edge that is a
Cisco ASR1001-x that connects to our BGP peers.
The reason we went with Cisco was because all the CCR Mikrotik
Lagged horribly when doing BGP full tables. We had a Maxxwave
router that did fine with the BGP but had crap interface support
with Mikrotik not having good drivers for the interfaces.
Different MTU for the MPLS caused problems.
It appears that now with Mikrotik's CHR fixes the driver
problems. the Virtual host deals with the drivers so Mikrotik
doesn't have to.
All has been fine for a few years... but now the Cisco has reset
itself twice in the past week. For whatever reason a reboot on a
Cisco = 15-20min down time. We are now needing a VRRP solution
for the Edge.
So here is the cross roads... Do we get another ASR1001-x and
struggle for a while to get a form of VRRP to work between them?
Or do we get something like this
(https://www.amazon.com/Supermicro-SuperServer-5018D-FN8T-Rackmount-10GbE/dp/B01LXUATHB
<https://www.amazon.com/Supermicro-SuperServer-5018D-FN8T-Rackmount-10GbE/dp/B01LXUATHB>)
and keep it all Mikrotik for ease of training and use?
We do not have much experience with Cisco. It takes us quite a
bit to configure and change them. is it worth learning and paying
the 12x the price for less throughput?
Cisco ASR 1001 2.5gbps throughput = $6,680
Cisco Licence for 10gbps throughput = $13,099
Total for 1 Cisco router + Repair of current + 1 Spare = $41,558
vs Mikrotik
Supermicro SuperServer 5018D-FN8T + 16G mem + SSD = $986
CHR 10Gbps upload per interface = $95
Total for 2 routers + 1 spare = $3,243
Is Cisco still the better option? would it be better to say use 3
MK routers in VRRP with one spare so 2 can fail and not be a problem?
