I'm not sure that even if 40Gbps line cards did come to the 6500 (or 7600), I'd be willing to consider running it on this platform. Given the kinds of deals you can get on the ASR9000 or MX- series routers, and the prices that have generally shipped with the new line cards on the 6500 (plus their ensuing issues with early code), it might just make sense to consider another platform once you've used up all slots in your 6509(-E) with the 8-port 10Gbps line cards. Of course, if you're doing pure Layer 2 switching, the ASR9000 and MX-series are a waste when planted in that role, and I'm not sure the EX8200 is any better a deal than the Nexus 7000. But that's just me :-). Cheers, Mark.
