Hi everyone,
I would like to have some advice from the community on how to improve our Ubr10k. In my company we want to enable new nodes and I was wondering if is better to still get the most of the MC5X20 card adding other cards and equipments or go for the MC3Gx60V card. Below is an inventory of my Ubr10k, any advice or list of items to improve would be appreciated.

20x20 is an easy upgrade from 5x20.
You already have some 20x20, so they aren't some new technology to you.
You should be able to buy used 20x20 cheap from brokers.
Recommend you load up all slots with these cards.
It will be a very good boost in DS capacity compared to 5x20.
Also grab yourself a couple of 1x10G WAN SPA
You can augment or replace the current 5x1G SPA
--
3G60 is more capacity again, but also more complex.
Some new concepts to learn.
You also need external gear like DTI servers and EdgeQAMs.
I wouldn't recommend it until you run out of 20x20 capacity.
Thanks a lot for your reply mbowe.
