The NetFlow you get from this box won't be operationally useful - many caveats. 
 Strongly suggest a move to Sup2T and DFC4 (where applicable), if you want good 
NetFlow from 6500s.

That really depends on his definition of "operationally useful". At the traffic levels he mentioned, he'll likely have to do sampled netflow, but even that is useful for getting an idea of what's going on, identifying D?DoS targets/sources, verifying abusive traffic, etc. Sampled netflow is certainly more operationally useful than no netflow.
