So after looking at the most recent testing I can find, it seems the that the 10Gbps CCR can indeed do more than 1Gbps per flow. It requires jumbo frames and fastpath compatible config to pull off. In short, you're still better off for the price using a L3 ASIC on a 10Gbps capable switch which can do full line rate at the smallest packet sizes with those limitations in mind. MikroTik is indeed a good general purpose platform for many things. Although the CLI IMO isn't as nice as JUNOS or Vyatta/EdgeOS (personal preference here), many should not be so quick to dismiss it.

This has not been the case for at least a year now.
Most Mikrotik routers now support FastPath/FastTrack. This is kind of like CEF in Cisco land.

Check out the Mikrotik Cloud Core routers, they make them with SFP+ support now. I have one of them with 10g deployed right now.

Not a lot of 10G capable CPEs out there. For our 10G residential customers we install Brocade ICXs.

I was recently asked to set up networking at a VIP's home where he has Comcast "Gigabit Pro" service, which is delivered on a 10G-SR MM port on a Comcast-supplied Juniper ACX-2100 router.
Which customer router would you suggest for such a setup? It needs to do IPv4 NAT, DHCP, IPv4+IPv6 routing and have a decent L4 firewall (that also supports IPv6).
The customer pays for "2Gb" service (Comcast caps this at 2G+10% = 2.2Gbps) and would like to get what he pays for (*cough*) by having the ability to stream two 1Gbps streams (or at least achieve > 1.0Gbps).
I'm tempted to get another ACX-2100 and do a 4x1Gb LACP port-channel to the customer switch, or replace the AV-integrator-installed Cisco SG300-52P (Cisco switch with e.g. an EX-3300 with 10Gb uplinks).
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
