Ron,

The question you asked is like request to provide advantages of traveling
by plane vs by car.

To me SRv6 is completely different solution then SR-MPLS in all aspects of
it. I listed few examples but you had different opinion. And I really have
no time now to argue with you about advantages of choosing IP vs MPLS
transport in any network.

Best,
R.
