> Out of curiosity, why do you need 2× 10Gbps links? Is it for some kind of failover, or do you actually require 20 Gbps of throughput on whatever side of the router (or is it two independent segments, each of which demands 10 Gbps)?

The latter. I have my network partitioned into two major segments (four if you count the redundant/failover ISPs) and I want to be able to route between them at full wire speed. If I trunked the primary VLANs together over a single 10Gbps link into the router, it would effectively halve the maximum bandwidth available between them.

(Runs between buildings are trunked, and if 10Gbps becomes a bottleneck I can light up the redundant fiber pairs. I can't currently justify the expense of >=25Gbps capable switches.)
