I think with 6 speed your changing gear way to much for very little gain if any.
I'm fairly certain you are, actually.

There's lots of us especially Ford transit van owners with 6 gears, to many gear changes. A lot of 6 speeders miss gears out to save pointless changes, eg go from 4th to 6th, 3rd to 5th you get the drift.
The problem with bikes is you can't do this so unless your just sitting on a highway in sixth for hours and hours you have to keep going up and down the box and it gets tiresome. Also if you need overtaking power quickly you have to go down two gears at times instead of one.
I don't like sitting on motorways so the journeys I make in the UK are best suited to 5 speeds.
