Can't comment on the M6, but I like the F5.
Look at both machines on YouTube and see which one is more interesting to you.

I use the MXT, M6's bigger brother, which is a nice all-rounder. I don't believe there is an enormous difference between both

The F5 also has several features that the M6 does not, such as adjustable threshold. However, the m6 is built like a tank, and has auto ground tracking. Whichever one you choose, you're going to get a good unit :)

maybe the F5 has another advantage by being lighter, I confess the weight and volume of the MXT is a factor for me to leave it at home

After much research and using friends machines I decided to get a new AT pro. I love it and couldn't be happier. Thank you all.
