Then is it true you can do Layer 2 EoMPLS with a 6500?

The 6500 and 7600 are the same product, different names are used for
different markets the product is targeted at. The perception you have
for
the difference in pricing is due to the fact that the 7600 base bundle
has
256 Mbytes on the Supervisor 2 and 512 Bytes on the MSFC2 as the base
configuration. If you take a 6500 and add 256Mbytes to the Supervisor
(The
Sup2U) and add 512Mbytes in the MSFC2 you will arrive at exactly the
same
price. The default memory configuration for a Sup2, (non U) is 128Mbytes
of
memory, and the default MSFC2 memory configuration is also 128Mbytes.
