Not sure if that's too large (and depending on future 
requirements, whether the whole 6500/7600 drama will come 
back to bite the OP).

I was thinking more, ASR1000 series. Will do wire rate, has 
a large enough control plane to handle multiple full tables 
to customers, is the natural progression from the 7200-VXR 
platform, e.t.c.

side note: we have pushed an NPE-G2 as an edge router, i.e.,
	   ACL's, uRPF, BGP, IS-IS, BFD, all that good stuff, to
	   about 950Mbps with a couple of BGP feeds to customers;
  	   granted, CPU hovered about 90%, but no packet loss,
	   e.t.c.

	   I'm, in no way, recommending you do this (we tend to
	   do things a little differently sometimes), but thought
	   you might like this horror story :-).

Cheers,

Mark.
