Not knowing about the switch side of things, but how many interfaces
would a PRI card be able to handle in that switch? I'm betting for $35k
it is quite a few. It may be something to sit down with your copy of the
local tariffs and decide how many circuits over how many months would
pay off that card and make the business pitch to get it. 

Your only other potential solution would probably involve SS7, and that
isn't supported under asterisk now.
