That reminds me of one thing that adds more complexity.  We carry our internet in a VPRN for various reasons.  The 
7450s don't do BGP AFAIK in a VPRN.  So, if your downstream BGP customers will physically attach to the 7450 you'll 
have to epipe over to a 7750 to terminate BGP.  Then, since the epipe doesn't go down, you'll have to do BFD with the 
customer.  Many customers say "do what?"...  ;-)  If you don't do BFD they'll have to wait for the BGP session to time 
out.
