When I was asking on SGL for reasons not to buy the Linear, Sara said "It is after all just an EQ6 in red clothes!!!" and, essentially, that I'll not get much better tracking than I do with the EQ6. Having said that she also owns one and swears by it. Not meaning any offence to her, but I'm not sure she understands the significance of it being 100% belt driven, with no worm/gears used.
Anyway, I know the EQ6 can do what I need it to do when it's playing nice, it's the constant fiddling I find myself doing with it to try and get it to play nice that's my issue with them.
I would suggest though, bearing in mind that I've not used the Avalon yet, if you happen to have an EQ6/AZ-EQ6 that's playing nice consistently, reports in the field (i.e from Sara) suggest that your tracking is unlikely to be significantly improved, so it may not be worth the significant upgrade cost. Might not be. I'll find out shortly whether it's worth it to me :-)
