Why on earth were you running a hosting business with Cisco 2950s? Those are wiring closet desktop switches with tiny buffers. That alone probably caused a lot of pain. You didn't know about it, but they did.
Second, the Juniper J4350 is a software router based on BSD. There's no special hardware in there like ASICs. It's just a PC.
JunOS (historically) is based on BSD. They're moving to Linux now.
I love OpenBSD for small projects too, but let's admit that there was some bad logic in this decision making process. This could be called "how the mx10 saved my ass because I went with undocumented, unproven open source project that has been on github for 3 days" if the technologies were reversed.
