Advanced port mirroring with filtering

I wanted to ping the list and get some feedback on switches with advanced
port mirroring with filtering. Right now we are using Cisco 6509s with SUP
720s in a VoIP application. The routers and switches work well, but we keep
hitting the wall on port monitoring because cisco only lets us have two
monitoring ports.

Lets say I have a 32 port switch with all sorts of SIP hardware on it. I
am looking for a switch that would let me do someting like this:

Mirror all POP ISP traffic to NetVMG box
Mirror all SIP and RTP traffic to VoIP Hammer probe
Mirror all SIP (5060 65060) traffic to signaling to Ethereal box
Mirror all RTCP traffic to VoIP quality engine
