Strangely, I think that if all the features and updates the 
SUP2T is bringing to the supervisor module family are 
actually implemented to work as advertised, the 6500 could 
be a much better router than the 7600.

The only problem would be if SX* ends up not having many of 
the "routing" features SR* or 15.x will have on the 7600. 
Also, not to mention that as of now, the SUP2T isn't 
supported on the 7600, so switching from a 7600 to a 6500 is 
a probably poor idea - 7600 to ASR9000 likely makes more 
sense.
