True, the IPexpert wireless racks do not have 6500s in them. But the NAC appliance and WiSM controllers are not in the current lab version. You can see the version 2 lab hardware and software versions at the link below.
https://learningnetwork.cisco.com/docs/DOC-3603 In regards to the need for hands on practice on a 6500, there's not too much in the blueprint that requires it. The only 6500 specific item is VSS. It is good to keep in mind that this is not the R&S lab, and advanced wired configs really aren't in play. So I wouldn't worry about needing to know any more than a basic VSS setup. You should be able to find that in the 6500 IOS config guide and you can use that as a cheat sheet if you end up needing to configure it in the lab. The other stuff can all be done on most any layer 3 IOS switch out there. There are small differences that you would see on the 6500, like ports being in routed mode by default. Also, you'd see QoS queuing differences on the 6500 ports. But if you know where to look up the information, you should be able to get by on most any 6500 specific configs.
