I'm going through much the same at the moment, and settling on 6807, largely from a price perspective. ASR9k is (today) a more capable box for routing - particularly if you want higher bandwidths. ASR9k has 100G ports today. 6807 only has 40G. ASR9k can be more flexible on EoMPLS (VPLS) than 6807. 6807 has a lot of potential (880G per slot), but it's not supported by either Supervisors or Linecards that are available today (current limit is 80G/slot).
