Not sure what gear you're using now, but you'll get full routing and MPLS features on the platforms such as the Cisco ASR920. I'd have recommended the Cisco ME3600X, but they just announced EoS/EoL last night, which means that while you can still order it until October 2017, the ASR920 will be cheaper and is the future of of Metro-E from Cisco in this segment.
the ME3600x is mostly fine for this sort of thing, with the exception of its control plane policing mechanism which is badly limited in a number of important ways, not least the fact that its traffic categorisation buckets are non-configurable and not what you might necessarily want for customer edge service.
