Hi,
looking at the specs of Mikrotik Cloud Core Routers it seems to be to good to be true [1] having so much bang for the bucks. So virtually all smaller ISPs would drop their CISCO gear for Mikrotik Routerboards.
The issue with RouterOS in general, not restricted to CCR's, is an annoying stuck route bug that seems to persist in 6.x versions. It causes packets to keep flowing to paths that are not working, routing protocols detect it but packets keep going there. Performance-wise, if your traffic is distributed among several ports you can benefit from having a core handling each port, but otherwise you should divide Mikrotik pps numbers to fit your scenario.
