What about a 7505 w/ RSP4/256 and 2 VIP 2-50/128s with 4 PA-FE-TXs.
For additional port density a 3550 ?
What is better about the 7206 VXR ?
Fewer software bugs, simpler platform, half the vertical space in the rack, redundant power supplies, built-in faste on the IO controller (if you get that kind).
