Router for Metro Ethernet

Before I get taken for a ride by salespeople, I figured it would be best to ask the experts of Nanog.... My company is currently in talks to bring an ethernet circuit into our headquarters, initially committing around 40Mbps. The ISP will be providing ethernet handoff, but I do not want their managed router offering (Adtran 4430) since it is pricey, non-redundant and I'd rather manage it myself. My question is about hardware. Can I assume that I can use something like a Cisco 2000 series router with two built in fast/gig ethernet ports, without a WIC? and since both sides are ethernet would the routing throughput be near fast ethernet speed? This is my first dealing with metro ethernet offerings, and I don't want to assume that the Cisco throughput rates listed for T1/ADSL etc. are the same for a metro ethernet as the WAN. Any and all suggestions on the hardware would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
