NSF/graceful-restart here, with SRA all IS-IS, LDP and BGP are supported.
BGP nexthop tracking is very welcome addition also. Ethernet OAM is nice
sugar on top.
LI's would've been nice, but not supported officially 
(cef table output-chain build favor convergence-speed). But there
are other optimizations in the code, that are just on, not configurable
that amongst other things, make LI's less needed.

And, most of all, because it works for me :)

Oh for me 7600 (SXD, SXE, SXF and now SRA) has been probably easiest
platform that we've deployed in our network. At least when compared
to NSE100 or GSR, number of issues between pre-deployment and
deployment has been unexpectedly low on 7600. I pretty much wanted
to see it fail to make M/T or CRS premium in pure ethernet environment
worth it.
