Well, back to square one. I ordered the 6000 on Friday and got an email 
today that the order has been cancelled. No explanation, but I'm assuming 
there was a sudden run in Hong Kong on these mice; the were "20+ in stock" 
when I placed the order, and now they are unavailable.

Thanks for everyone's suggestions/ideas. Guess I'll keep looking. You would 
think if the 6000 was THAT popular, someone would at least be making a 
knock-off of it :-(
