My assumption is the following:
- sup720/rsp720 series backplane connectivity capacity is 40Gbps
- there is no known plan from Cisco to have bigger capacity supervisor for 
76xx.
- Probably not economical to develop 1 port 40GE card
- If you need router like capabilities Cisco pushes you to go for 
ASR9K - Comparing pricewise 76xx with ES cards and ASR9K with low queue 
cards there is not much difference.
