However, SIP/SPA still consume global (internal) VLAN resources per L3
subif..only the VLAN IDs need not match.

Basically there is NO way for 6500/7600 which can get you around this 4k
VLAN/IFL per box scaling issue when doing L3 termination.

As others have pointed out, using service instances on ES/ES+ will not
require global VLANs, but this only applies for terminating plain PWEs.
For L3 subif/VPLS, again a global VLAN/SVI is required.

Of course the box might still be 'good enough', only depends on your 
deployment scenario..
