Would you use 4506-E w/7E supervisor as a distribution switch?

I know these are meant for access layer, however after closing down a small campus these are sitting around and I'd like to get some use out of them. I have a pair of 6509-E w/Sup720-3B supervisors (not using DFC line cards) that I'd like to replace. Budget is small so unfortunately I can't replace the 6509s with cat9K right now, and I'm just wondering if using the 4506s is the wrong idea. This would be the aggregation point for 6 access stacks, 3-4 esxi hosts, a wireless controller, and a few misc. servers. Let's say around 1000 users primarily on wifi and mostly web traffic. Any input is appreciated, thanks.
