In addition to not having to use sub-interfaces on a port channel for any more than 4 VLANs, the MSFC is capable of forwarding 15M packets/s, as opposed to 6? on the MSM.
The integrated slot thing is another issue... Then there's an issue with the number of OSPF/EIGRP neighbors that you can have... I think the limit on the MSM was 10 before hanging the CPU... I'ev run into this personally, and had it reboot on me in the middle of configuration... that may have been a code issue, but still something to keep in mind... There's also the EOL issue... It's pretty clear that Cisco is going in the direction of the MSFC1/2 PFC1/2, so you have to wonder how much longer the MSM will be around, and how much longer they will service it...
