If you can get that line card for that price, I'd take it.

There are some limitations when doing VLAN-based QoS on this particular
line card, but all other features work well.

I wouldn't be too concerned about the throughput on this line card. If
you hit such an issue, you can easily justify the budget for better line
cards.
