If the OP says he hardly ever plays the 6, why are you all telling him to keep it? I mean, I know it's your opinion and you're entitled to it, but the best advice for the OP is to trade it for a 5 which is obviously his bass of choice.

I am telling him to keep the six because an all wenge Thumb is worth a lot more than a garden variety Thumb 5. The deal does not make sense from an economical point of view. If he can trade it for a bass of comparable value, by all means, do it.
 
From the title I couldn't have cared less, I'd say whichever one you like best. But all wenge? /drool! If I had either string configuration and someone offered me the other in an all wenge config I'd take it and grin till my face hurt.
