SPAN Session on my 4507R+E

I'm running a C4507R+E with a Sup 7L-E 10GE card and i'm looking into limits of SPAN ports to support a new security initiative for a SIEM device. I inherited this network and unfortunately the 4500 is our Core, Distribution and Access, so I have a ton of VLANs they are going to want mirrored and a few other physical ports. This sup allows me span up to 8 ports (which sounds scary in terms of stability) which i'm afraid won't be enough. Would network taps possibly help me out here or is the design of this Data Center just not creative enough to support what i would need done.
