"At 30K we can safely assume they know what they're doing" I completely disagree. Rep does not now nor will it ever = "knowledge of moderating/the site", "good decision making", "careful attitude considering all parameters to make a good judgement" etc. That said, that's another issue, so +1 from me for your actual idea.

@James fair enough, still stick to my belief but removed the "safely". :-)

Very, very few people hit the current limits on a regular basis; not sure this is much of a privilege. Also, unlimited non-binding votes potentially just creates more work for other users. I'm pretty sympathetic to the desire to make close votes more effective for trusted users, but more weak opinions isn't likely to accomplish much.

@Shog9 fair enough, wasn't aware of that. If it matters, I'm really for what Jon offered himself, comments moderation is cool. :-)

I would see this coupled with either/both % of times I used all my votes and/or % of votes cast that effectively lead a question to be closed.

Unlimited might be bad, but double-badger superpowers just might work.
