Hi,

I have recently been in contact with ETS Regad & fils and can confirm that the G6/M unit is discontinued and has been replaced by the M6000.

From what I've been told, the M6000 unit is of simpler conception, which makes it more affordable, while retaining the same characteristics as the G6/M.

Cheers!

They're offering two head units. One without "power regulation" — I read this to mean it doesn't regulate temperature, just the frequency with which it sends line current to the cartridge heater with something like a pulsating on/off switch. The other has "power regulation" — as it has a digital display, I believe this one has a PID in it with a thermocouple in the handle. These will maintain temp pretty accurately, but I don't think accuracy really matters all that much as long as you're in the ballpark. These machines are stupidly overbuilt. No wonder they cost a fortune.
