For example, I believe that a Pipeline 220 has a much better processor than a Pipeline 130 (which does have a lot in common with a P50, IIRC). Lucent used to have a nice little Pipeline comparison chart, but I see that they've redesigned their site, apparently with the goal of making finding anything utterly impossible.

PPP requires less configuration (no FR profile to build) and correctly returns the link speed via SNMP. FR will let you build multiple PVCs, should you need them in the future.
