Although 7200's are pretty cheap on ebay etc, there are much cheaper 
options for the requirements you've outlined.  How about a 2611 (or 
2621).  I've done some reasonable BGP scenarios in lab testing on a 
2621 - just as long as the table isn't too large (which the usual IX 
table will not be anyway).  This sort of assumes you'll just be getting 
a default from the ISP and some specifics from the IX.

That said, if you really want too buy a 2821 then it'll do the job fine.
