It is very interesting that a 2:1 8 port 10G X2 card is $37500 for C6509 and $7500 for 4900M (+ has the ability to use Twingig). So I would say if don't need the extension capacity of C6506-E go for something smaller like 4900M. Also if you will only need 2x10G in the future you also might explore the SP BU - ME 3800X-24FS seems like exactly what you need right now.
