Bingo. You're fine as long as your access L3 gear speaks MPLS. That does somewhat bump you out of the realm of "cheap L3 switch", but there are still options.
IP-capable switches that have little to no MPLS support would certainly be cheaper than one that does. But given the benefits of an MPLS-based Metro-E network vs. the traditional architecture, I find current prices somewhat reasonable. Mark.
