8mm or 6mm Microbore hose?

Just curious as to which everyone uses. I use 6mm at moment but I've noticed that WCW supply their new systems with 8mm!

stick with 6mm mate.

ive just returned to using 6mm microbore after heater broke(i was using 8mm thermobore).WOW!what a difference.i forgot just how easy it is dragging microbore about!much lighter and easier!
price higher/work harder!

theres a MASSIVE difference johnny using microbore instead of minibore.much more manageable esp if you reel out 80m-100m on a regular basis like me! :)

Not much difference to be honest between normal 8mm and normal 6mm. Changed to 8mm for the winter and will go back to 6mm for the summer. Very little difference in flow either.

Why is 8mm more the norm. Loads of places sell reels with 8mm but not 6mm
