The killer feature is that it allows the internet to continue the 
grow as we're used to. There are, unfortunately, no real individually 
discernable benefits (just costs, if you're an early-adopter).

Don't expect to see much deployment of IPv6 until the IPv4 crunch 
starts to affect ISPs bottom-lines (i.e. when it starts to become 
difficult to provision services for new customers). This possibly 
won't be an issue for another 5 years or more, maybe longer.
