There is one big difference. Layer 2 QoS on a 6500 is a whole new
game that depends heavily on the modules installed on the box. While
essentially, its WRR queuing like the 3550, almost every module has a
different number of queues and thresholds and may or may not have a
priority queue.
It's just so much nicer not to have to worry about 1p7q8t queuing on the exam.
