I recently traded my DC6 IIXG for a DC6 Pro (IIXG vintage) and have been 
delighted with the upgrade. I have since added a DCD1 to my instrument.

If I had a DC6A, my CD drive would be integrated in with the main control 
unit, and I would be able to control both with a single remote control. Also, 
the main unit's display would show titles for the CDs (which the DCD1 does 
not). With a model A, I would also have the ability to transpose the playback 
of the CDs.

On the other side of the equation, my Pro gives me the most sensitivity for 
recording and playback. Also, the Pro can provide the quietest playback of 
any piano in which the hammers are actually hitting the strings. 

Given these trade-offs, my needs, and the pricing option that was available 
for the Pro, I am extremely happy with my decision.
