Our experience with 6500/7600 and IOS support makes this look like a bad
plan.  

Due to "what do we care about our customers?" policy inside some Cisco 
BUs, you should be prepared expect to see sudden end-of-support for 
whatever hardware and software combination you want to use.

Historic precedence shows that all 6500/7600 blades that are not "ethernet 
based" have a fairly short life experience (or won't be supported in 
whatever chassis you have, you always need "the other one").
