Any 7200 will handle this without any sweat, and is a well-established and
rock solid platform.

The 3800 will also handle the load perfectly well, but IOS support is 
still new, and I've seem some people report crashes with 12.3T on 3800
here on this list... but that might be an exception, other people really
like the 2800/3800 platforms.  I haven't been able to gather own experience
yet.
