We're doing something similar - VACLs (using the "redirect" action) with port-channel destinations on a span aggregation 650x. If you've got a spare 650x chassis lying around and your configuration requirements aren't terribly complex/dynamic, you can do monitoring with filtering and load-balancing at high-throughput on it.
