IPv6 dead peer detection

I have started the next phase of my lab build out and hope to show IPv6 dead peer detection from a host perspective. If all goes well traffic will continue to forward out to the public IPv6 space after shutting down the primary interface of my test lab router.
Some of the improvements made to IPv6 are really very cool and appear to work in concept much better then their IPv4 counterparts. I am just wondering if all of these improvements, on aggregate, are enough for folks to want to start utilizing IPv6. Only time will tell.
