I've been asking Cisco and other vendors to develop a non- modular chassis version of the ME3600X/3800X, for this very purposes. If you're looking at maintaining the price-performance metrics of the ME3600X/3800X, any current chassis-based MPLS-capable router will be too costly. Having said that, the 6880's are quite new. We have a number deployed, but for core Ethernet switching. I think they still even have only one image at this point. The 6880 is a SUP-2T with all 6500 features (alleged to be) available Day One; for what that is worth. Mark.
