I have owned both so might be able to shed some light on this, from the point of view of using it, there is absolutely no difference. They even sound the same when slewing etc. The EQ6 with legs fully retracted is actually a few cm's lower than the EQ5. The only real difference is the location of auto guider port and plug points etc. Oh, and the EQ6 has a bubble level that is never level either.
But the biggy is the load, the EQ6 can easily carry alot more than the EQ5, although the EQ5 was easy-ish to carry around (to a point) the EQ6 breaks my back after 2 metres!!
