Well, certain vendors (like Pete) would not only put on respin K but would 
be doing so with a custom lic that already has PTF's installed.
Doing what you did, initializing disks beforehand, sounds like a great 
timesaver.  Hopefully what your vendor does doesn't lose that time savings 
and requires a reinitialize.
I didn't have enough information about your model, but looking at
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=ssm1platformibmi
there doesn't seem to be any model which requires 7.1 over 6.1.1.
I might have dumped your software vendor for not getting to 7.1 after a 
few years availability.  I dumped a few vendors because they took too long 
to get to 6.1.  Too long for me is just a few months after GA.
