Platform selection for heavy-multicast oriented network

Hey

Looking for any input/advice on which platform to try for our next PoP without breaking the bank (our main hardware supplier - ebay :)

Network is mostly built/designed to do a lot of multicast routing/replication to a bunch of downstream takers, typical config - port in routed mode, with class-map and ACL (100-300 lines).

Overall, close to 6k groups/ ~ 50Gbps on a backbone and steadily growing.

Over the last 5 years, 6500/Sup2T and 4900M in smaller PoPs proven to work very well but power requirements is killing my rack electrical budget...

10G interfaces downstream interfaces, upstream 10/40/100G.
