Whatever you are going to purchase, next year one of the BUs is going
to screw you.

I can really see this coming:

 "Oh, you have a 7600 chassis with a WS-X6748 blade?  Now, that isn't
  going to be supported any longer.  For the 7600 you need SR* IOS
  versions, and for LAN switch modules, you must run SX* IOS.  So for
  your hardware, you need to either get a new chassis + supervisor, or 
  new SR-compatible interface blades".

Maybe that's just me, but this whole 7600 vs. 6500 BU crap is giving
me the creeps.
