Sounds like you'll want to go with the Sup V-10GE. It will support two X2 connections and allow you to upgrade your chassis to the E series in the future. If you actually want to get better than 8:1 port oversubscription out of your line cards, you'll need to upgrade to the E series. I'm a little hazy on the connectors / cables between X2 and SFP+, but you should be fine connecting the two. Does anyone know of a twinax cable that does X2 to SFP+?
