Sup2T was because the Sup720 is already 6 years old and I don't know if
it is going to last another 6 years. That's why I decided to ask on this
thread. You all seem pretty enthusiast about it.

the 6[78]16 are the only 10GBASE-T though and I'm trying to keep it
simple.
If you want it to last 6 years, I think buying the 6716 is the wrong
call.
If you do buy the 6716, the sup2T is overpowered. Maybe you need the
new features, but you said "throughput and minimal routing", so maybe
not.
If it were me, I would get a sup2T and 6908 linecards, and use a
distribution switch with fibre uplinks and 10GbaseT ports down.
The Extreme x650 is a very cheap option for the latter.
My advice would be to think hard about 10GbaseT restriction though.
