We run lots of 6500 gear with Sup720, which is quite similar to the
7600/rsp720 if you take away politics and BU silliness - especially
the age of the platform and the drawbacks. We're still mostly happy
with the platform, but it's certainly not something I'd migrate *to*,
because, well, it's an old platform, and the 7600 BU seems to be no
longer interested in it - while the 6500 BU is still working on the
general platform (Sup2T, 6880-X, 6807XL, newer high-density line cards,
etc.). So, don't go to 7600 (and never ever by ES line cards).
For your profile, I'd look very closely at an ASR9001 (more router-y),
or possibly at the 6840-X (more switch-y = many more ports for the
same money, but not the same ultimate flexibility - and so far, only
-LE models with only 256k IPv4 routes have been announced)
