I couldn't disagree more about the Beta 52, bro. There is an EXTREME high-end roll-off going on, and the low-end response is second to none. Awhile back, I was debating whether to get a SubKick for front-head Kick applications, and I discovered that my Beta 52 actually had better low-end response. It goes way farther into Subharms than any other mic I've tried. It does have that +7 at 4k thing going on, just for the "modern" kick sound, but it's easily attenuable if you don't like it.
Whereas, by comparison, the d6 has a crazy frequency response that is almost all high-end, over +5 at every frequency between 3k and 12k. It has a tiny +2 bump around 80 Hz, but other than that, it's a flat low end. It's a good mic, but only if you want that intense attack. Unfortunately, I could only find a PDF for the d6.
