I don't think having power supplies with two different wattage ratings 
would hurt any of the guts, but I've never had to do this, so I can't say 
with any certainty how the switch will behave.

It might:
1. function normally
2. function, but the redundancy won't work
3. function, but the switch will complain
4. shut down
5. do something unpredictable like shut down all of the linecards...
