The equivalent from Juniper to Cisco's 6500 is the EX8200 or 
EX6200.

However, if you're looking to deploy MPLS services as well, 
I'd say don't waste time with Juniper's EX switches and just 
go for their MX480 or MX960 chassis'. They support typical 
switching functions, but really are routers (which is what 
sounds like you're doing with your 6500's).
