Optical Ethernet Fiber connectivity

Good Morning,

We are currently in the process of getting an optical ethernet point-to-point 50mb/50mb dedicated link between two remote offices.  The branch office that is connecting into the HQ has 6-10 users for data and VoIP with a Shoretel phone system.

I have been reading and looking at these:http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/routers/800-series-routers/data_sheet_c78-519930.html

Will these routers be the correct choice for my application?  I am looking to obviously encrypt the link.  This is the overall drawing of what I believe the end solution would look like. 

Would I be able to dump the (2) AdTran phone routers and create a vlan on these 800's and remove one layer of physical routing?  

I am looking to swap out all of our crappy off the shelf consumer Netgear switches, with stackable Cisco Catalyst 2960XR-48FPD-I.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

An 800-series router won't have the "grunt" to process 50Mb/50Mb traffic.  

Future-proof and look into a Cisco 2921 or a 2951.
