(So an additional three 10G ports). I need at least ten 1G SFP based ports (I am ready to give up the ES20 and buy the "+" version). I also need shaping, policing and HQoS that doesn't tax the supervisor CPU's. I think the ES20+ LC will do this?

You can probably find a way to make all this work with the 7600, but
IMHO, ASR9000 or MX480/960 are you best bets moving forward.

Right now your biggest worry is port density and basic features?
Tomorrow it will be a whole lot more.
