The fan tray 2 is available in the second-hand market and easy to get.

You don't need an E.  Any 6509 chassis will run any of the SUPs.  And 
the 2500w power supplies are sufficient as long as you only have a 
couple 6700 series line cards.

MPLS is not an option on the SUP2s.  I've never heard of any promises of 
it on the SUP2s either.  The SUP32 and SUP720 (even non-3BXL) have some 
MPLS support.

I'd speak with a Cisco SE before making any purchases.  Depending on 
your needs, you might need to get into the 7600s w/ RSP-720s.

Good luck.
