You'll get nothing in the Cisco range with that feature set for that 
price unless you go 2nd hand, IMO.

Netflow at the same time as 1Gbit/sec is the killer - platforms that do 
both are €lots.

At this level of performance, consider whether a network tap & linux 
machine with one of the software flow capture engines would be an 
alternative - then buy a low-end 3x50 catalyst, which will easily 
perform and do IPv6.

Or tolerate <1Gbit/sec and buy one of the ISRs.
