Try to use Cisco Feature Navigator for making a decision:

One link that I use to easily check which features are included in each "feature set" is:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/iosswrel/ps8802/ps5460/prod_bulletin0900aecd80281b17_ps708_Products_Bulletin.html

Of course the Feature Navigator is best due to its granularity but this one would be useful for a quick look.

The other thing is memory requirements, for this choose a feature set, go to one of the latest IOS in the downloading site and check it against your 6513's current memory in the SP and the RP
