On the bigger equipment, the switches are much more affordable than the routers, but the routers scale up much higher.

    For those who wonder why.... I am upgrading all of my backhauls to
    support ~300mbps. In addition I need to be able to offer BGP
    connections
    to customers from this ring of backhauls.


Seems like an interesting combination of things there. If I may ask, why don't you leave the ring stuff and switching to the switches, and routing stuff like BGP to separate routers? It'll probably make things a lot easier to set up, and you'll be free to get the best switches and the best routers for your needs instead of trying to find something that's only so-so at either task.

(Not intended as criticism, I'm actually kinda curious about this network layout.)
