I've been a little bias towards the 6.5 due to the bullets ballisticly superior desighn but I enjoyed this guys take on the 6.8. Like I've said before both rounds will drop deer at a few hundred yards just as dead.

I cant afford a nice 6.5 upper (over $900 minimum with target crown and no silly GI Joe peap sites on pencil barrels) and trying to get myself into the 6.8 frame of mind (nice target grades out there much less money).

edit: the link is like 3yrs old, not much has changed so I dont expect the 6.5 high quality uppers to ever come down to a reasonable price Im guessing?

Thats pretty much the same reason why I'm swaying towards the 6.8.
