There is a 3B -> 3BXL upgrade, which used to cost exactly the same as the 
price difference between a Sup720/3B and a Sup720/3BXL (so it's not a
"we'll send you a new Sup720").  

So I'd assume that a -> 3CXL upgrade should also doable.

Indeed, folks have tested Sup32 with a 3BXL update, and it works, but 
it's unsupported, and most likely there is a check in recent IOS versions
to make sure it doesn't work anymore.  "We told you this is not supported!".
