If the $2,500 is a stumbling block, you're probably WAY undercapitalized for
the project in the first place....

Why do you need your own allocation?  Either because you're getting pretty
big, or you want to multihome a /26 or some such tiny allocation.

Let's say you're getting big enough to want your own /19 - even if you're in a /
20 and growing, that's still 4,000 machines (either your own or customers)..
plus admin salaries, rent, etc, you're a fairly good sized business.  That $2500
shouldn't be a breaking cost - if it is, you're close to failing already and 
need to be
thinking about consolidating, not expanding...

If you're tiny and trying to multihome, and can't afford $2500, you're probably
not going to be able to afford the router and 2 or more leased lines, and the
expertise to do it - you probably should be looking at a colo instead.
