Not 100% your requirements, but the ME-C6524GT-8S comes a lot closer
than the 3750ME.
1.5 HE , PFC3C, MSFC2A, 8 uplink ports

release date juny 2006, so might have to wait a little while
starting at $24,000 (list?) as I read it somewhere

650x with sup720-3bxl's
But we'd be very interested in ME-65xx if they had 2*10GE slots.
