When you switch to the pl5 you will miss some of the big advantages of the Nex6:

1. The grip you say you love
2. The EVF you will have to buy seperatly, adding bulk to your camera
3. the large sensor, giving a 1.5 crop instead of 2, giving better DOF control

So befor swapping try the PL5 in a shop, you could find the lack of grip a bigger point when to decide to take it with you then the extra bulk of the Nex6. Then you could try the Nex5r, an even smaller camera then the PL5, with a grip and with a larger sensor...

Look here for size differences with a comparable lens: http://j.mp/WXQgSL

Or the Nikon1 is more for you or even the Pentax Q they are realy smaller..

i am disappointed with the nex 6. many problems. the pl5 does have an interchangable grip which is cool and the lcd can be flipped facing forward like the nex 5r - another option. i checked nevercat's link and found that most of the lenses i want would be much smaller on the pl5 too - so thanks!  this lens i saw yesterday online although plastic costs $99 which would save me a lot - good reviews too.  i think it has a wider aperture than the nex.  i am going to look at the nikon1 today too.   the canon is lousy.
