I've only ever used 8mm any other difference other than weight or should I send back?

Cheers

Either is ok in my opinion, but have to say I would prefer to use the 6mm!

I have only ever used 6mm.  but the latest 6mm is "ribbed" which is actually harder to reel that the smooth one so next time I buy 6mm I am going to make sure I buy the smooth one.
