Expense? (I'll preface this by saying that even though I have not used OSM, I have used 6509/MSFC2 a lot and like it greatly). Expense? Used Juniper gear, even when re-certing it, is still probably orders of magnitudes cheaper than OSM. Live life. Get a couple M20's, and some 6509-SUP2 (non-MSFC) with GE uplinks. You'll be happy, it will be stable, and you'll not spend a lot of money.
