I had a meeting with a SE from cisco last week and we were bragging him
about 6500 and 7600 and how come 7600 being expensive when they are the
same, his answer was CISCO has a slightly different roadmap for 6500 and
7600 in the future both from an IOS and also from an HW perspective, though
he dint give specifics.
Thanks,
