cost effective 1G BGP Router?

Hi, we are currently researching our options for BGP routers. currently our PI-address space (/24) is routed by our ISP (Cisco 3925 @ 100 Mbit line), but we like to change that (own ASN with multihoming and dualstack with a gigabit line)

we also got quotes from our distributor about various juniper models. The cheapest is a pair of used Juniper MX80 incl. Xcare Advanced for ~22k€ (Germany)

I'm not sure if we need a such expensive router pair. Our requirements are not that special:

  • max. 1 Gigabit throughput (Currently usage sitting at 6 Mbit avg, peak 90)
  • SFP interfaces
  • No IPsec or IDS/IPS

IDS and VPN are handled by our edge-Firewalls (PA-820). Is there any recommendation for a cost effective router?
