10GE on the cheap between a 12000 and a 6500...

Is there any mythical line card that I'm missing for the 12000 that offers 10GE for a reasonable price?

The idea of using half of a SIP 601 for one 10GE port seems a little outlandish to me, so maybe I am missing something.

Any advice is appreciated.

-Drew

There is no "reasonable price" 10G for 12000, just as there isn't for
the Juniper M320...

According to global price list

( SPA-1X10GE-L-V2 + 12000-SIP-601= (E5) ) < 1X10GE-LR-SC (E4)

Quite why one would want to spend less money on an E4 with half the
density is beyond me.

The 1X10GE-LR-SC went EoS about a year ago, but even when both were
available, getting the IOS change tested and approved to support the E5
(as well as type approving the new card itself) would have been far more
expensive (on a number of levels) for us than buying the slightly more
expensive E4.

"I would like to use the new card, not the old one that we know works"
wouldn't have got me very far. "The E4 is crap, and the E5 might not be"
might have been a better arguement to have though.
