Default Denali 6000/T - Upgrade to version 2

Just got this email from Shunyata. Very tempting

Dear Shunyata Customers,

We are excited to announce the long-anticipated upgrade program for the original Hydra Denali 6000/T.

This upgrade converts existing Denali 6000/T units to version 2 and will include internal upgrades only (no external changes). Internally, the updated 6000/T v2 is an almost complete rebuild!

Denali 6000/T v2 Upgrade Features
• 6 independent zones of isolation (all 6 outlets are isolated from one another)
• 6 independent high current outlets
• Includes significantly improved versions of the QRBB, NIC and CCI modules
• Performance increase is comparable to or slightly above the award winning Hydra Denali 6000/S v2
UPGRADE COST: $1,500

If you are interested in upgrading your unit please contact Richard Rogers at richard@shunyata.com or call the Shunyata factory at 360-598-9935

Considering the current MSRP of the V2 model (happy V2 owner here), this upgrade makes a lot of sense to me.

Very interesting. I'm wondering if I should try to find a used 6000/T rather than buying a new 6000/S? The release says its as good or a bit better than a 6000/S when modified. What would be the downside to this idea, if any?

The 6000/S is no longer available; current version is 6000/S v2.

The 6000/T upgrade brings this older model to the specification as the current 6000/S v2, AFAIK.

My understanding was the purpose of the 6000/T upgrade was to bring it to the engineering specification to that of the 6000/S v2 for all those original 6000/T owners that find the tower form-factor more suitable for their configuration. For example, the 6000/S V2 has notably more QR-BB functionality than the original 6000/S.

There's other enhancements across the board, but as I never owned the original v1 6000/S, I wouldn't be able to speak to those in much detail (I went from the original Triton V1 to a Denali V2, which was a HUGE jump, even more so when I put on a Sigma XC power it from the Delta I was originally using).

If you have the means to go "all-in", Everest will blow the top of your head off, figuratively-speaking, with the improvements it will bring.

Did you mean to write the “6000/S” [v1]? How can it be better than the v2, as it’s the same device, just not in a tower format.
