I think the problem is that the devil is in the details. Both boxes will support most of the same features (VPLS, NAT, Netflow, QoS). For every feature listed here there are caveats that need to be kept in mind when comparing the boxes (ex. for NAT 6k punts the first packet to built state, ASR1k doesn't. ASR1k will scale to larger NAT table sizes).
