Just 6?
There's a whole lot more, you know. Aperture and seeing is important. I've seen 10 stars in the Trapezium from my home in Sydney under exceptional seeing conditions with my 17.5". Not even from a dark site, but from deep inside Ol' Sydney Town. Trap. A, B, C, D, E & F are cannon fodder for a scope 6" and larger. The others though do need more aperture grunt and stable seeing. Aperture and seeing. A dark sky not necessarily critical.
I've been following this thread with considerable interest. Now if only the blooming clouds would bugger off I could have a go too...
