RC 5 or RC 6?

I have a 6, and am thinking of getting a 5 ,but I have some doubts. Having a BK-2 and having used my friend's 5 has shown me their limitations as well as their strengths. Maybe I should just use the 6 only and forget the 5.
I agree on the Junglas as the better chopper ( paired with a 3 or 4 for bushcraft work.) This would be my suggestion to the OP.
 
I have a 6 and love it. It's a great size and plenty strong. I've chopped and batoned wood that is of similar size to the wood I burn in the wood stove during the winter (~1-1.5' long and 3-5 inches thick). The knife is just tough as hell... and versatile too (choil).
I have the molle sheath and accessory pack on the 6 and I've even rigged the Izula to 6's sheath similar to how someone else did on the forum (sorry I don't have a name, but they posted pics too). Now I have everything I need in one place.
Don't let my profile name fool you, ESEE knives are the bee's knees.
The 5 will be tougher, but it is also heavier and a tad shorter, making it a little bit less of a chopper and not as user friendly.
So the question is, how much chopping will you be doing? Perhaps the Junglas/ESEE3 option is better for you, but maybe it isn't.
Good luck on making your final decision :thumbup:
