I did say "service provider", which was more toward, "I have eyeballs that need MTV and Youtube". Data centre operations, like yours, would be a different beast, of course, and in fairness, I can see why your nodes would be fairly static. And if they grew, it might still make more sense to do virtual chassis things than do unnecessary large scale routing. It's like trying to run FCoE over an MPLS WAN - sounds like it should work, but... Mark.
