I lusted after the F6 for it a bit...until I saw the price. Even now a good used F6 commands upwards of 2 grand at KEH. I got my F100 for $395 in like new condition. And the F100 takes AA batteries while the F6 needs the harder to find and much pricier CR123A, unless you get the battery grip which is huge and adds to the weight. I did love that 'quiet shutter mode' on the F6 though. Just didn't think it was worth the extra $$$. You makes your choices:) They're both great machines.
