I'm seeing used, empty, MX480s in the range of $13k on ebay[1]. Plus $3k for add in 10g cards[2] And I have to pay for support if I want to get updates, security patches, etc... [3] And I need 2+ of them if I want to multi-home. So I'm buying a used device of unknown history, that someone is selling for unknown reasons(could be a working pull, could be something with an obscure problem that will surface 3 months later), without a hardware warranty or support, with outdated software, and going to trust my entire network with it and it's internal redundancy. If I could get 3 for that price I might consider it. I like the SpaceX approach. Don't trust one big expensive engine to get you where you're going. It probably won't fail, but if it does, you're toast. Trust 9 cheaper ones and have enough redundancy that if/when one does fail, you shrug and keep going and just replace it before the next launch.
