A 6" is easier on the arms for sure but you'll have a much tougher time landing large fish. Truelly large fish will be unlandable as they will not fit through the hole and you'll be forced to cut the line -- and THAT WILL SUCK BIGTIME. I've had fish that almost didn't fit through an 8" hole, so it WILL happen with a 6".
Also, a 6" hole will freeze much quicker than an 8" hole.

I got a Nordic. I think my dad is gonna mod our current one with a weed whacker motor which would be great when the ice is thick.
