An NPE-G2 will handle 500mbps so long as your PBR isn't too hairy.  I 
really wouldn't do this on an NPE-G1/7301 though.

Can I make a recommendation?  Get more IP address space now to deal with 
your current customer base.  In a couple of months time, there will be no 
more ipv4 address space easily available and you'll lose the opportunity 
forever.  Also if your publicly addresses customers are on someone else's 
address space (e.g. owned by transit / upstream), get address space for 
them too.

ARIN still has ipv4 address space left, but it will be gone for good shortly.
