We have one 6509/Sup720-3BXL in full production, and a second one with 
one customer and soon to inherit the rest of our customers in that POP. 
  So far, I'm VERY happy with it.  A few minor rules (EoMPLS has to be 
on the port, not on a VLAN), but quite bulletproof.  Easy to comprehend, 
even for our junior NOC folks.  Admittedly, no NAT, but very good at 
everything we've asked it to do.
