[c-nsp] Flex-WAN vs. Enhanced FlexWAN

[Brandon Price]

The NON Enhanced Flexwan blade support has been dropped in 12.2.33-SXH 
They are recognized fine in 12.2.18-SXF12 however, so I guess they are
fine if you don't mind being locked into that version of IOS

We just bought 5 of those suckers to replace our 7206s with, we will be
running a PA-MC-T3 in each bay.
We have lots of MLPPP T1s.

I am also interested in any potential pitfalls with these cards..

I don't have a lot of 6500/7600 experience, so was taken aback today
when I saw the after-market price differences between the flexwan and
Enhanced flexwan blades.

I understand that some folks have a severe dislike for the flexwans, but
we have a number of PAs, and would like to reuse them if possible.  With
the price difference, the non-enhanced flexwan blades look very
attractive.

Is there a terrible, dark secret about the non-enhanced blades that
should make me run screaming?  Or can I trust them while we transition a
number of links from 72xx gear to 65/76xx gear?
