Tom, Why not run multiple tor relays on different ports on the same IPv4 address?
For example, you could run 6 relays on 6 different ports on your IPv4 address (6 x 180 Mpbs > 1 Gbps). This would also utilise your 4 cores much more efficiently than running 2 relays (each relay will only ever use 1 core for most operations).
