  Switched in hardware?  I don't quite know what that means.  The 4700 is
just a basic modular router chasiss (3 slots).  The 4500 uses the same
interface modules as the 4700.  I've got a 4500 with a 6 10BT module in
it, and am considering adding the single fast ethernet module soon.

  The Cisco 4000 series in one of Cisco's most reliable router lines, but
getting a little long in the tooth these days (ie. modules aren't hot
plug).
