asr1001 EOL

Last go around we got screwed with Cisco announcing EOL on the asr1001 line literally 3 months after we bought 12 of them. I'm gun shy to pull the trigger on the asr1001-x due to this as I had been expecting Cisco to announce a replacement by now.

So my first question is are there any other options out there that are 1u, do IPSEC and BGP on 3-4gbit/s of aggregate traffic with tons of NAT rules and hundreds of acls? The ISR line is not powerful enough, I do not want something like 6wind and I am not seeing much else from other vendors.

If the ASR1001-x is the best choice, can anyone recommend a good certified refurb Cisco vendor?
