We upgraded 2 7500s to 2 7613s with SUP720-3BXL.  We ordered 4 eFlexwan 
2-port cards on each so that we could take out the PA-E3, PA-T3 and 
PA-POS-OC3 cards from the 7500s and put them straight into the 7600s. 
Bad move.  In the end we had to RMA *10* eFlexwan cards - sometimes the 
same card 2-3 times since it might arrive DOA or fail within a day.

The eFlexwans are now stable but that doesn't mean I would not put a 
special emphasis on this when doing a migration.
