if this is a new purchase, and depending on your needs, you may want to consider an ASR9k instead. Also, you will gain much more redundancy and reliability by running a single SUP in two chassis rather than dual SUP in a single chassis.. Otherwise, the 7600 chassis will take SR code, which is aimed at smart/expensive routing, while the 6500 chassis will take SX code, which is aimed at less smart/ less expensive routing+switching. I'm not really convinced that the SUP2t is the best choice for a plain old transit router these days. ASR9k looks like a much better bet, and if you don't need that many ports, the ASR9001 is very favourably priced when compared to the 6500/7600.
