Certainly a cheaper (and IMHO, simpler) option if you want 
basic NAT that won't scale beyond a couple of tens of Mbps.

NAT on Juniper's can be pricey if you aren't doing tons of 
bandwidth due to the extra hardware required to do so. Of 
course, current generation platforms such as the MX have in-
built "Services" modules that can offload much (but not all) 
of these additional services. But again, those boxes aren't 
cheap by any means.

You can also consider pfSense. It can carry quite a bit of 
NAT traffic on a decently-spec'ed server.
