Options to replace a layer 2 ring? Anyone have any suggestions on the best way to do this?

Right now we have a core cisco 6500, and connected through our plant is 20 IE4010 switches. There are 2 switches in each cabinet. Total of 10 cabinets. They are connected via Gig interfaces and forms a ring from our core.

Surely it would be easier to get rid of the 6500 or even change this from a layer 2 to layer 3 networking solution? Any vendor ideas or best way to go about this?

Should i do L3 routing from our core and have routers replaced in each cabinet?
