Honest Opinion am5 vs am6 and sm2 vs sm3

[Shannon]

AM6 is not weaker on alpha, it's much, much smoother of a ride. It's got more in it, which makes it a bit less specific, but it also has OGSF in it and the naturalizer and SlipStream, too. Much, much smoother ride, and at least as deep and profound (probably moreso), but now you don't have to have the turbulence that AM5 had to get there. Easier is often equated with less powerful among men because we've been brainwashed to believe "no pain, no gain". Basically, you don't have to have a harder time doing it for it to be more powerful and effective.
