Cost issues and the relationship wit the local subsidiary; we have very little problems with the ME6500, one being the BFD with SVIs issue that you don't like either if I recall correctly. Are you sure ME3750s are doing good for your network ? We had tons of issues with 3750-Metro, a product that I strongly recommend for my competitors... we haven't tested ME3400 which sound very nice (but doesn't have MPLS) or 4500 with Sup-VI (no MPLS on the software yet).
