There is no choice, cap raises must happen with new content.
I must respectfully, but strongly disagree. New content does not necessitate a new level cap. Once again, I point the the example of Chains Of Promathia and Wings of the Goddess, both of which did not require level cap increases and are widely considered by most FFXI players the two best expansions of the game.
