Yeah, the APX 8100 is very nice. Pricing on the secondary market looks 
pretty good too (under $40K for 64 DS1). It would cost over $20K just 
for the TE410P cards for that configuration, without any servers to put 
them in, hot-swappability, management overhead, etc. This is not even a 
close race :-)
