Just thought I would add a little bit more. You may want to consider looking at 4500 (or 4000,4700) series routers. They are modular and have pretty much equivalent processing power to 2600/3600 series routers (but not the architecture). They have a fairly good range of modules available to them

You will need at least one 2620/21 with a Fastethernet port for ISL/.1Q trunking. The 2500's can do anything a 2600 can besides voice and ATM, but you can also use a MC3810 for voice which looks like a 2500 (With 16F/64D you can get a MC3810 image that does VOIP instead of only L2 ie VOFR) A 2520

I think it depends on your budget. You can get several 2500 series routers for the cost of a single 2600 with modules. With smart shopping, you should be able to pick up most 2500 models for under $275. I've bought 2501s, with 16/16, for under $200. The cheapest you're likely to get a 2610
