I went ahead and bought an EHB1006. It is, without doubt, the easiest playing six I have owned.
What I like:
It weighs just 7 lbs!
It looks fab: the roasted maple against the grey is uber sexy IMO
It sounds fab: the T1 pickups are great and the EQ is very versatile
Setup out of the box was perfect
The ramp is a nice addition
What I don't like:
QC issues: grey finish missed in a couple of less obvious spots (neck bolt recess, tint patch under the bridge)
As many people have said, the rear strap position combined with the wedge shape angles the neck away from the hand, forcing you to twist your wrist. I have added a second button below the bridge (near the jack) and it has completely transformed how the bass plays.
The luminlay dots are rubbish: even if you charge them with a torch you're lucky if they last twenty minutes, and when they fade you can't see anything on a darkened stage
The plastic knobs are tacky: decent metal ones on order.
