Arista 7280QR-C36 Viability

At the risk of the Streisand effect, what am I missing about the Arista 7280QR-C36? It looks like a great router for 
small ISPs (great price, large packet buffers, good port selection, meaningful hardware routes). That said, it looks to 
be right on the border of DFZ viability. It supports "over 1M" routes, but I currently have about 1,036,824 in my route 
table. How much over is "over"? What happens in EOS when it goes over?

What's the "next best" box for that role?
