This solution can most be definitely be had for under 5 grand. with the RSP4+'s (ECC mem) youd be looking at greater than 99.99 percent uptime if configured with SSO.

But if you end up needing BGP with full routes, throw that out the window. The RSP16's are expensive (even used relative to the RSP4) and usually necessarily for memory due to the current global routing table size. They are still cheap on the used market compared to list of most vendors, though.

I was "assuming" some level of route filtering/summarization as he did mention a single t1/t3 (at least used the word "link" - singular). Good point though, if you need more than 512mb mem, your gonna have to shell out the extra $10k for the pair of RSP16's
