I know that the 7m is a fully counterweighted crank and the 6m is only partialy counterweighter, and the 6m has a higher factory redline. But my question is, what are the pros and cons of each crank?
6M vs 7M crank

7M is just smoother all over the rpm range and feels very willing to rev
6M crank feels a little harsher.
Long term the 7M crank "should" be kinder to the bearings.

You will probably get most of that info in IJ's 7M thread post he very recently put up.
The one benifit to the first gen crank is that it is probably free.

Asking becuase I have a 6M in great condition currently in my car, I'm just starting to stock pile parts for a build up, and want to know if its worth the money to find a good 7M crank.
EDIT
Also, what should I expect to pay for a 7M crank?
