Well, I'm going to speculate for this company. Now why do they want to stay with Cisco? Mostly support I would imagine. If you have a completely Cisco shop, you are sometimes Willing to put up with extra cost/less functionality to stay one vendor. Then your employees only have 1 product to learn to configure. We don't know the skill/staffing level of this place, but I imagine that is the main driving point with staying Cisco....
If I was doing it, I would look at an OC circuit. When your talking about that many T's, the cost would have to be less and think of the reliability factor. I mean your still talking a bunch of DS-3's for 188T's ( 7 if my math is correct ). A single OC-12 would handle this pretty easily with plenty of room to spare... Just my $.02 though...

If you want edge density, Cisco doesn't have the best solution. Try a Juniper/Unisphere ERX1440. Oh whoops - I forgot, I'm not allowed to mention the evil 'J' on this NG....
