Hi,

The 2600 supports all of the features that you mentioned (MPLS VPN/OSPF from 
CE-PE/MPLS TE with IS-IS (all assuming for example 12-1-7JS)), but does not 
support some features that the 7200 does. For example, if memory serves me 
right, the 7200 (& up) support MPLS TE with OSPF in the current IOS 
(2600/3600 do not).

Additionally, capacity & throughput would be concerns if you were 
considering the deployment of 2600 as PEs. Of course it depends on the size 
of your mpls network, but 2600s might be best suited for use in the lab (as 
far as mpls is concerned).
