He may be able to provide you with a global price list so that you can see the relative price of all the items. You will want some form of support on these boxes as well as you NEED to be able to download updates. Otherwise you will have me here all day working out Cisco prices :) Based on my gut feeling - I would think that the best solution for you would probably be a c4506 with a Sup7E. You could get your redundancy by using spanning tree rather than port channels until VSS becomes available. The 4500s are also quite a good layer 3 switch so you ever require layer 3 functionality. (Extra licenses however). NOTE: I can of course not guarantee that Cisco will bring out VSS for the 4500s or that it won't be an extra cost on the Sup7E - I can only state what I have read.
