I've read several posts on here that lead me to believe that the WS-6704-10G is essentially the worst linecard ever produced.
I think that's probably a bit strong! 6148 for starters...
The problem is, I only need 2 ports of 10G and just to replace 2x1Gbps uplinks that almost never get anywhere near their line rate capacity.
We use them. They have some well documented limitations, but TBH we've never had a big problem with them. We're moving to 6716 for new buys now, for density and buffer size reasons, but we still have a bunch in the network performing fine.
I think you'll be OK if you're well under 10gig, and as you say the price/performance is an issue on the better cards.
