Mark, I'm not sure if you have other 10g links, but keep in mind that Cisco has (at least) two 10g optics - Xenpak and X2 - that are not intercompatible. I believe that the 6704-10ge uses Xenpak and the 6708-10gE, which is the "same" card but with 8 ports, uses X2. If everything else you do is X2, it might make sense to jump up to the 8 port card to prevent yourself from having to buy/spare two types of optics.
