Requirements are basically just 24/48 SFP ports, PVLAN and selective
QinQ.
Most devices that fit the requirements are Layer 3, which pushes the cost
per port too high.

Cisco ME6524 has a model with 32 SFP ports (24 with 3:1
oversubscription, 8 non-oversubscribed) and "IP Base" IOS which has
very limited L3 features (RIP and EIGRP stub only), focused on Layer 2
deployments.

The ME3600X might be more a more appropriate Cisco solution than the
ME6524. The ME3600X is one of the current metro MDU access CPE device of
choice.

2x10GE and 24xGE SFP or Copper versions with Metro Feature set.
