It's a good question though. When the 6500 first came out there was no config-sync or SRM which was a problem if you had a flexwan. config-sync was nice for flexwan support but still required HSRP. SRM is what I have been doing for a while now and it works well and there is no HSRP necessary, one less feature to find bugs in!!
