Great question.  We have a similar topology to Scott's  and once we have all of our offices converted to Cisco VoIP we will be looking at RSVP to maintain quality.  We attempted it before on 6.1.2 but we never got it working.

OK, so I'm feeling a little behind the ball.  I've always had a hub and spoke network, but now we are looking at redundant networks to keep up time to the 5 9's or better.

I'm looking at using our internet connections via VPN to backup your current MANs.

eg.  remote site -- MAN -- Hub
        | ---- Internet VPN ----|

beyond the Routing / VPN it sounds like I should be using RSVP rather than CAC and QoS.  Has anyone setup RSVP?  I'm currently on CM 7.1 but If I'm thinking correctly, I need 8.5 or 8.6 to get RSVP working with CM.

What other things am I forgetting?

What have others found with RSVP?  Good, bad, or other.

TIA

Scott
