So, to clarify, the document you are referencing does not refer to the CX 6200 switch, it refers to the 6200yl (running AOS-S, not AOS-CX) so isn't relevant to this discussion. The CX 6200 does support some of those features today, but did not when the post was written. You can see the feature navigator (https://feature-navigator.arubanetworks.com/) to see what release various features became available in if they are supported.

I'm not sure where Dinusha above referenced his information, but the statement that the CX 6200 doesn't support Policy-based routing, ECMP, OpenFlow, or PIM is incorrect. Please see the table at chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://networkingdojo.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/HPE-Provision-ArubaOS-Switch-Software-Feature-Support-Matrix-Nov-2016.pdf which shows that the CX 6200 switches support all of the above.

Also, ArubaCX 6200F doesn't support Policy base routing, ECMP, OpenFlow and PIM

As of today, there are plenty of features missing on the 6200 compared to 2930F. Depends on what you need.
Some examples:
- Can't use secondary downloadable roles on 6200; only static roles at the controller
- IP client tracking does not exist on 6200
- Device fingerprinting (and forwarding to ClearPass) does not exist on 6200
- CDP receive does not support all version; no CDP send
I also saw some critical and not so critical bugs. Like loops, ghost error counters, stack members stuck on boot, dhcp snooping not working, NetEdit failing validations, NetEdit not completing firmware update...
Fortunately they will be used for a refresh and not a new installation. Otherwise, I would not have a network.
If I needed something to work today, and work well, I would go with 2930F.
