Your better off just running system mtu 1504(if you want to deliver QinQ to customers) and then specifying the larger mtu frames on your trunk interfaces, this still restricts your customer access ports to 1504 while allowing you to run what you need, jumbo frame mtu on an interface will

I concur with the 2801/2811 being the better choice than an ASA in this scenario, just make sure you have the AIM-VPN module with it. The only benefit I can see the ASA giving you is more advanced deep packet inspection(compared to CBAC), even then you really need the SSM module in the ASA
