Mark II user here. Been sad to see this possibly being the end of the line for me when the beta came out and I actually hoped Cliff would release a Q6 only firmware for those who want to go on. Which means I'm super happy we're eventually not left behind - thanks a ton!
I played quite a while on Q5 minutes before installing Q6. I decided I didn't want the placebo effect to happen (aka thinking it's OMG so much better while it actually might be just a tiny difference), so I tried memorising the whole tone and feel of Q5 to see if there's an actual difference this time (also entering sceptical attitude). Immediately after turning the updated Axe on I played the same riff that I jammed before... and within seconds I was smiling like an idiot. The improvement is really there - the tone is less tamed, wilder, livelier; the feeling in the left hand (as some have described in this thread) is also again more 'immediate'. I absolutely love it, it's the best one yet for sure.
When I originally bought the Fx 2 with Quantum 1 installed, I loved it straightaway, but thanks to the unending marathon by the Fractal team I now own an even more incredible machine. Sooo incredibly glad I joined this great company, my tube amp which I'd been happily using for years before has literally been collecting dust ever since I made the switch.
