Leupold MK5 vs. Mk6

Have the mark 5, never used a mark 6. Dials seem to be the same, as far as I can tell the 5x vs 6x mag is the only real difference, other than price. Oh and the 35mm tube on the mark 5 will put some people off.
 
35mm isnt a deal breaker for me. I am torn between mark 6 and DMR2. Not sure if its worth the extra 600-700 dollar. I do like the lightness of Mark5 though
 
Not sure about the DMR, but I do have a LRHS on one rifle and pretty happy with it. Side by side with the leupy I would say not quite the same glass quality but no complaints. Tracks very well, the only downside I can see is the zero stop system is not as good. Hard to explain but the way the stop disc relies on set screws on the turret shaft is not very positive, and can slip if accidentally turned down too hard.
