@sns I feel your description perfectly captures what I am hearing. We’ll said. I am curious if you will find even further improvements as you reach 500 hours.
It does take a leap of faith to buy the 006 when it is not promoted or professionally reviewed. Still the 005 did get some traction eventually. It seems from the forums and the for sale ads that those who took the leap with the 005 were glad they did. Maybe the same will happen with the 006.
I would suggest potential purchasers contact the company directly to see if a discount is offered. In the past the factory direct price on the 005 was discounted. I've seen some discounted prices on ebay too, but know nothing of those vendors.
