My understanding is the Nexus 7010 has little control plane 
support for typical Metro-E, i.e., MPLS, e.t.c.

Cisco are currently positioning the CRS-1 as a 100Gbps/slot 
solution. The issue here would be (tri-speed) port density 
if you want to carry trunks and customers in the same 
chassis.

6500 and 7600 currently have 40Gbps/slot support (2x 20Gbps 
channels on the SUP720/RSP720).

There are plans for additional switch fabric capacity per 
slot, but not 100Gbps. Again, if you want that, Cisco 
recommend migrating to the CRS-1. With any luck, there will 
be a product to fill this gap in the future.

Else, you would probably need to consider other vendors.
