I would get a 7507 w/redundant RSPs and redundant PS.

Even a 2650 would do

Indeed.
The part I missed earlier is that I think Alexander needs to buy the
platform. As of today I can not recommend buying any 7500 as even the
7507 and the 7513 are going to EOL sooner or later. If you can't afford
a 7603, then the 7206VXR with NPE400G and a gigabit trunk to a 3550 is
what I would do.
