Rahim,
Let me try explaining some of the Key differences:
1. Slot Capacity: 4510R is a 10 Slot chassis while 6506 is a 6 slot chassis.
2. Power Supply: 4510R and 6506 both supports power supply redundancy while 6500 has a wide variety of PS like 4000W,6000W,9000W.4510R has max4200W PS.
3. Backplane:4510R supports at max 136 GBPS backplane capacity with Sup-5-10GE while 6507 supports 720Gbps switch fabric.
4. 10GE Scalability: 4510 has limited 10GE only 4 ports at MAX with only 2 active at one time. 6506 offers a wide 10GE ethernet scalability.
5. Service Module: 4510 doesnot support services module while 6506 supports a wide variety for service modules like Firewall, IDS/IPS, ACE,CSM, WAN module etc...
6.Architecture: 4510 supports centralized architecture while 6506 supports distributed architecture.
There are a lots of more differnces. Please find the datasheets below for more undersatnding.

The 4510's IOS won't support some IP routing functions the 6506 running IOS will. For example, you can't NAT on a 4500 series based router.

And the 45xx only has 6Gbps connection between backplane and line card, where 65xx varies from 8Gbps-40Gbps, depending on card and fabric.
