MX204 is a very nice pizza box router for service providers. I'm not aware of anything quite like it in terms of having a mature control plane. I like the JunOS config language better than Cisco-style that most other folks use.
The MX204 is pretty hard to beat. It fits well as a peering/transit router, as well as a Metro-E router where you need a 100Gbps ring to carry 10Gbps customers, as well as downstream cheaper routers that will do sub-10Gbps quite nicely. That said, at least for the Metro, I still believe a lighter version of the MX204, with dense 1Gbps capability, is still needed. Been asking since 2007. Mark.
