The only thing I know is the huge benefits I have seen myself in live enviroments and during labtests. My sites and services are almost exclusively Windows based, so the native QoS is not only a shortcut, but also increase the potential capacity of the infrastructure.

now you are splitting this into a debate of hardware vs b/w..
personally, i dont know about the benefits from a hardware (server) standpoint and frankly i didnt think about that aspect. so, if you see increased performance from a hardware (server) standpoint then i would say that is an aspect that factors into the equation quite a bit.
actually i often think about what plays more into internet performance, is it a bottle neck at the hardware level (routers, switches, servers, etc) for a lot of sites or is it network congestion.
if we are looking at this from a hardware vs b/w standpoint, i would say that when testing my servers and infrastructure, i find that i see more performance issues due to congestion and hardware capacity at the routing and switching level..
so, i guess my point was that until the entire core infrastructure, even down to the smallest host, will play more of a role than implementation of ipv6..
and even then, how many hosts/ip transit providers will continue to upgrade theri infrastructure to handle the increasing traffic load..
