[c-nsp] 10G for 6506-E with Sup32-8Gb or replace with 4900M

[Pavel Skovajsa]

It is very interesting that a 2:1 8 port 10G X2 card is $37500 for
C6509 and $7500 for 4900M (+ has the ability to use Twingig). So I
would say if don't need the extension capacity of C6506-E go for
something smaller like 4900M.
Also if you will only need 2x10G in the future you also might explore
the SP BU -  ME 3800X-24FS seems like exactly what you need right now.
