In most cases, you wouldn't want to use the same type for both, unless
the 8000's are set to 7000 mode.  You need them to be different so
that NBU knows not to put a tape written by an 8000 into a 7000 drive.

It might be okay if you only have one type of drive per media server.
I'd still use two different types myself.
