Jim:

I've used the ProII on six before I sold it to buy my Omni II. The Omni is a good performer on any band in my opinion. I do a lot of six meter SSB and CW and it works great. I can't compare it to the OmniVI+ since I've never owned one. I suggest downloading the OmniVII manual and read the product reviews...if your satisfied then you may want to order one from Ten Tec and take advantage of their 30 day trial plan.

I am able to detect a 50.100 Mhz signal at -125.6 dbm (.117 uv) with the preamp on in the Omni VII - using a Aeroflex 3920 Service Analyzer.

Hope this helps and good luck with your decision.

Folks,
Curious if anyone has used both rigs on 6 meters. I have a 6n2 (526) and have used it on six for several years. Does have a few birdies and is overwhelmed by strong signals, but a good, all purpose rig. Have used it on cw a lot on six also. My question is how does the 6n2 (526) compare with the OMNI VII on six meters? Also has anyone compared an OMNI VII with a Pro III or 7600 receiver wise? One more question:
How does the OMNI VII compare to the OMNI  VI+?        jim,  K4CFA
