I found 5.1 a definite improvement over 4.2, but so far,
though I have owned a couple of copies of 6 for quite a
while and have played with it on a spare computer, I
prefer 5.1. I dislike the 6 interface - everything seems
to take extra mouse clicks to get where you want compared
with 5.1. It looks like Adobe wanted to make Premiere
work more like FCP (not an advantage, I think...;-).
