Technically I'd go ASR9006 (IOS XR), but ASR1006 is less overkill and
probably cheaper for your requirements.

"multiple linecards" is a big cost driver here which probably makes
ASR9006 economically unfeasible.

I wouldn't use 6500/7600 in that role. Too many caveats and gotchas
(at least historically - cannot judge newest generation of SUPs and
linecards) to my taste. See Rolands comment for typical example.

Best regards,
Daniel
