Many years of experience in dealing with countless problems caused by these deficiencies, both hands-on in networks for which I was responsible as well as working with SPs making use of these platforms in their own networks, have led me to this conclusion.

Well, it looks like I need to find a bunch of new routers then?

Thats a claim backed by little real world evidence given the sheer 
number of 7600/6500 out in the wild - perhaps your too narrowly defining 
"suitability" down to "what I personally want the box to do".
