100G can be expected in 2011 (or early 2012) for ASR9K and Nexus 7000.
AFAIK you cannot expect 40G for 7600.

Are there any (public) reasons given for not offering 40G for 7600?

My assumption is the following:
- sup720/rsp720 series backplane connectivity capacity is 40Gbps
- there is no known plan from Cisco to have bigger capacity supervisor for 76xx.
- Probably not economical to develop 1 port 40GE card
If i remember right, a 4x40G card (oversubscribed) is under consideration for the 6500/Sup2T.
Also, Nexus will get 6x40G and 2x100G cards, non-oversubscribed.

- If you need router like capabilities Cisco pushes you to go for ASR9K - Comparing pricewise 76xx with ES cards and ASR9K with low queue cards there is not much difference.
