It's the same as the v4, in fact from most respects (sound quality, SpeakerLink & MMHR accepted) there is no differance between a v4 and v6.

I must admit M should realy look at developing some "proper" firmware updates for the v6 / M-config.

That's a shame. I'm moving from the G68 to the 861 v6 (still about 4 weeks away from v6 delivery)primarily for the ability to do discrete 7.1. Better sound quality will be nice too. But in the mean time I have learned to enjoy certain features of the G68 and the Wizard from the front panel is great.
