I share that sentiment - when I learned Cisco, 7500 was always "the box
at the top of the line".

Still, our single 7507 caused *SO* much trouble (OIR crashes, VIP memory
issues, packet drops due to wrong packet path, weird software support in
12.0S/12.2S, etc.) that we decided to decommission it last year - and 
we didn't miss it.
