Does it have to be a switch? As of 12.4(24)T3 you can do this on ISRs and 7200s...

What I'm looking to do is the termination -- wouldn't the ME3400 do the trick?

"Q-in-Q" generally refers to *tunneling* one VLAN trunk through an L2 network by adding an extra VLAN tag in front of the existing VLAN tag. "encapsulation dot1q x second-dot1q y" is used to *terminate* a dual tagged VLAN connection (typically an IP termination). This is very different from *tunneling*. So - do you want tunneling or termination? I don't believe there are any Cisco desktop switches which can IP terminate a dual tagged VLAN connection. There are, of course, plenty of desktop switches which will do 802.1Q tunneling.
