How are you changing what the subnet is in IPv4 with DHCP? Don't you 
still need to log into the router to assign a secondary address, or 
change the primary address of the interface? If so, you're right, on a 
cisco that's two commands instead of one.. gotta change the IP address 
AND change the ipv6 nd prefix xxxxxx/64

So much more work and management headache!
