You fears will significantly lower after you set up a separate lab and play with it. With something as simple as a switch you can make a simple IPv6-only network. Try to replicate your current network in the lab as far as you can, using the "new" concepts and techniques and understand the current state of the art (read that as RA+DHCPv6, etc.) Get your pings right. This will automatically get you to dual-stacking, as in "how do I make both protocols work in the same physical network?". They just do. At this point the problem stops belonging to the network infrastructure and it passes on to the application servers and hosts. (And ask your ISP to support IPv6). Good luck. -- Octavio.
