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

This is very tempting, indeed! Thanks for sharing!

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

I meant to write 6000/S v2. Sorry.

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.

[QUOTE=btn2803;1060288]
• Performance increase is comparable to or slightly above the award winning Hydra Denali 6000/S v2 /QUOTE] 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. |
