KRK RP5 vs. RP6

I'm going to be buying my first set of legit studio monitors, and I've been leaning towards the KRK RP5s because a lot of people have good things to say about them, but I haven't heard much about the RP6s. And I just realized that the RP6s are only $100 more than the RP5s.
My question is: is it worth the extra $100 to have that one inch?

Spend the extra nothing more and pick up a pair of Tascam VL-X5.

That's my opinion.

I agree with War, I have heard these in my studio, they are amazing. I have only heard krk's at gorilla Center, but I think the Tascams rule.

the VL-X5 were my 2nd choice, but if you guys really recomend them then I may have to reconsider.
Thanks guys.

I like the sound of the RP6, but we found that they made all kick drums sort of sound the same...which is not a good thing.
