You seem to be operating under the assumption they're going to do both. In that case, I agree just bite the bullet.

Subject: RE: OS version and TR refresh level upgrade question
Sure an OS upgrade may be "more" disruptive than a TR upgrade. But if you're going to do a disruptive upgrade in the first place why not do the one that gets you the most current?
Sure you have to verify you have the right version of your vendor software to be compatible and all that. And read any and all applicable MTU's. And whatever other caveats you want to throw in there but, as Jim said, the disruption should only be two hours more. Why spend one weekend putting
TR7 on and the next putting 7.3 on?
