I would look at Cisco's ME3600X/3800X for this deployment. I 
wouldn't waste my time on an ME6524, given the capabilities 
and price of the ME3600X/3800X.

Note that egress policing in this platform is not yet 
available in the software (but the hardware is built to 
support it). This should be out towards the end of 2011.

Cheers,

Mark.
