If your experience is like mine, you'll fall in love with the M-series and absolutely despise the E-series (Unisphere)
: If I'm going to take full routes from a couple of upstreams
: and have a couple of peers will the M10i (768M max) be
: enough or is the M20 (2048M max) a better choice.
I use the M10i platform for some of my border routers. For example, below, I'm receiving full routes from a couple of upstreams and a partial with 768Meg for a good while now and no problems.
