I'm in a similar situation. I own the NEX-6, and REALLY do like it. I have an opportunity to get an A6000 body for a song, and wonder about offloading my much-loved 6. I'm prepping my gear for an upcoming trip to the UK, and this is one of the primary considerations - okay, this and maybe getting the 1670z lens, which would be a welcome load-relief from my typical primary travel lens... the good-old 18-200 silver.

For me, landscape, architectural and street photography are my interests, and up to now, the 6 has been more than up to the task. In fact, Ray, your "signature" (below) has defined my approach up to now, and may continue to guide me. "Buy books, not gear." Learn the gear you've got. (But then that little voice asks, "Yeah, but an A6000 for that price?!")

It's not like the A6000 is ever going to go *up* in price.  New bodies are always coming, but the improvements tend to be incremental.  I still very much enjoy shooting my NEX-7 when I can't bring my larger DSLR gear along, and I may not upgrade it to another rangefinder-sized body so long as it keeps working well.
