I've only updated a couple of days ago, and tried out 3 or 4 diferente ROM's.

I can tell you that the performance is great, better than using WM5.

The rest, you can choose, and try.

Only then can you see if it's worth.

I've been running WM6 ROMs on my 8125 ever since the first one was leaked here on xda. I can tell you -- without a doubt -- there's NO WAY I'd ever go back to WM5.

The device is MUCH more responsive and snappier than it was with WM5. I can't think of more than a couple of times in the past 4 months that I've had it freeze up or hang when running apps.

There's plenty of WM6 ROMs in the Wizard Mobile 6 forum. Just take a look at each one and see what it has to offer. No one particular ROM will satisfy everybody, as each person has their own likes and dislikes. Just read the entire thread for the ROMs you're considering to see if it's the one for you. :)

I upgraded to WM6 and shortly after: Back again to WM5.

I think you don't really need WM6 because there are only little improvements to WM5. The Speed-up is the same as after a normal Hard-Reset, what is often said here is maybe a "feeled" speed up, it's everything but objective.

What you get from the "cooked" WM6 versions, you can find here, is a different software equipment, which in some cases really can be interesting. But if you really need some, you can install it on your WM5 aswell.

I think you should try and decide by yourself. It's the only way to get a good answer.

I also was running WM6 and am now going back to 5. It was nice, but I had a lot of missed calls as well as bluetooth problems. Try it out for yourself and see if you like it.

only went back one time to wm5 cause i messed up my wizard and wanted to start from scratch.

the speed is tremendously faster than with wm5
about the mentioned missed calls, did not occur to me as yet.
