The PA-2FE-TX is about 1600.00- better to get a second PA-FE-TX with second VIP2-50

Now why is the CX-FEIP-2TX so much cheaper than the PA-2FE-TX ?????

I believe because the CX-FEIP-2TX is a full length card. The PA-2FE-TX also isn't able to handle a full 100Mbps per port, so don't be suprised if it doesn't work well :) VIP2/50 is a much better combo.
