Matt, I have the 6mm too - it is not as good as the 9mm. On its own it is outstanding, but after viewing through the 9mm, the 6 shows some foibles.

I really like my 8" f/4 scope for its fantastic rich-field-telescope capability. Its focal ratio is also one very hard task master that will expose a lot of short comings in an eyepiece. My thirty year old 28mm RKE is SUPERB in it! Below is the beastie I use on a DIY dobbie mount.
