It’s only more expensive the more big vendor products you use. Sometimes you need to (i.e.: Boxes with big RIB/FIBs for DFZ, or deep buffers), but more and more, people are looking to OCP/White Box Switches [1][2].
It doesn't sound like the OP needs massive FIB space, so he could implement FIB filtering and run the smaller boxes that have all the features but lack the FIB real estate of the larger routers/switches. This is what we do for our Metro-E Access networks. Mark.
