My experience has been that the entire box, pretty much all features, 
are "on a par" with 6500, including QoS and routing. The only 
significant things I can think that are missing are L2VPN, service 
modules and non-IP routing.

Of course your original message was ASR versus Nexus, and you're 
doubtless correct that the ASR leads in every respect; but the 6500 
versus Nexus is, in my opinion, a much closer run thing.
