U could save money by mixing 2500 and 2600s . U could use 2500 as backbone and 2600 as ur routers.
U will also need a 252 series for ur Frame realy switch.
2600 would allow u later on to practice MPLS if u wish. It is just a matter of how much ur wiling to spend.
Some of the commercial labs requires devices with have at least 2 ethernet ports so my advice to u is to get hold of a lab book or a free sample, when u find what u wnat or like by th eequipment to fit it.

Hey all
I am about to purchase my home lab for scheduled CCIE Lab. Please advise me the drawbacks of using all 2500's in my home rack instead of 2600's.
One difference I noted is that the 2500's can run IP plus as highes feature set. They dont come with Enterprise Plus, while 2600 can be configured with both feature sets. Is their something extra that wont be there in IP plus for 2500 that i may require for CCIE.
