When I chose my first big-game rifle, I chose 6.5 CM over the 7mm-08 because of the quantity of good ammo out there for the CM. Not because of any wild stories about the CM as a miracle round or because I felt like I needed a super high-BC bullet for hunting success. I don't think I was overly influenced by marketing, and honestly I don't recall seeing much marketing.
If someone wants to start manufacturing really good 7mm-08 practice ammo at a low price (like Hornady's American Gunner series with the CM), I'd be all over the 7mm-08 for my next rifle.
You live in East Little Bozeman, of course you have a 6.5 Creedmoor!
