For a majority of configuration when it comes to system settings and routing a virtualized environment can be of great help, sadly anything ASIC or HW Specific configurations. Sadly not many have the money to have one so as to test different scenarios so as to gage the impact that this changes might have on the production network.

Many times when working with a client network or working on our own we have the need to test, document and validate certain networks configurations in a test environment.
