It is far away from transparent. Devices behind the router can't know that a change in Public IP happened and won't reconnect active connections. One example is Apple's APNS and Android's GCM. In IPv4 multiwan network, after the change they won't receive notifications at all for up to 30 minutes. In IPv6, the router can invalidate the old prefix, and publish a new one immediately. |

Also, I'm personally not aware of any reliable way of invalidating IPV6 prefixes except waiting for the timeout. (And if it's republishing a RA, devices don't have to listen to it, and the packet might even be lost with an unreliable wifi for example). If I'm wrong here, I'd love to know about it.
