It depends entirely on what features you turn on, and what level of
performance you require.  If you push those cards near their bandwidth
*or* PPS limits, and also enable features such as ACLs, uRPF, and MPLS,
you will likely have problems.  However, given that:

you're nowhere close to those limits, so the older (and cheaper) cards
will serve you well, at least for now.
