Depends on what kind of QoS you need to do. If you need to do a lot of 
packet magic (thousands of queues etc) you'd probably be better off with 
the 7304 NSE-100 than the 7600, as you would need the OSM modules for the 
7600 which would make it quite pricey.

So, I think you need to provide more detail on exactly what you need the 
box to do.
