Should I revisit NEX with NEX6? Skin tone jpegs were not good for me with 5N

It's really very simple. Proper white balance gives you correct colors.

Photography is as much about lighting as it is anything else and if your pictures were taken in a room where the color temperature of the lighting was too warm or cool, then there's a 90% chance that your pictures will have improper color (the quality of the lighting was poor).

Yes, the picture you get may look like the scene you photographed but that doesn't mean it's technically a good picture. You'll like it (and that's really all that matters) but people who know something about photography (other than pushing a button) will see a problem.

I've been involved with photography for quite awhile and know a few professional photographers. I don't know anyone who sets an improper white balance on purpose. As a matter of fact, proper white balance and exposure are the two most important technical aspects of any picture.

Once you have these two aspects correct, you can easily make any artistic adjustments in Photoshop.
