Full BGP Table Router Suggestions

Does anybody have suggestions for an internet edge router capable of handling full IPv4 and IPv6 BGP tables and also with at least a couple 10G ports (some 40G ports would be even better)?

Whitebox/Open-Source is totally an option (preferred even) and I also don't mind older [pre-owned] gear. Cost is a concern.

I've been looking at ASR1001-X's with licensed 10G ports. Those look to be around $7k/ea. Also been considering using VyOS on bare metal, but I'm worried about data-plane forwarding capacity. I've seen stories about people using VyOS for route-reflection with full tables, but not for actual packet-forwarding.

Any suggestions or even critiques of my ideas are appreciated.
