RE: Cisco Router best for full BGP on a sub 5K bidget 7500 7200 orother vendor ?

I was surprised by the similarities between the 7507 and 7513. Why EOL
the one device that has a pleasing form factor ? There are MANY
providers who would be quite happy with ~ 600 mbps? That's a lot of
billings...

Hi Alexander 

 I'm not sure what you're trying to say 
You asked why the Cisco website tool won't give you a 7505 as a config
option I replied that it's EOL - with a quote from Cisco website

 All I see in the HTML table you sent is that the 7507(or 7513) is
better
than a 7505 - is there a non-obvious point I missed ?
