Usher owners who chose 6 series over be series?

I demoed Usher Be 718 but liked the 6311's better. With all the hoopla surrounding the 718, has anyone else out there opted for the 6 series instead?

It was overhyped before release and does not live up to the hoopla IMO. A couple of my customers sold their pair within 6 months of purchase.

I owned both the 71 and 81. Both excellent sounding over the long haul. The 71 better fit my room size. The 6311 while very good, cant quite provide the grunt and bass the 71's and up are capable of.
