6 Ton (ish) excavator choices

I'm starting to look around for a 6 ton (ish) mini/mid size excavator. There seems to be a lot of 5 and 5.5 ton machine from the different manufacturers, however, once you get to the 6 to 6.5 ton mark, the choices seem to be pretty limited. I currently run a JD50C, which has been a pretty good machine. It's a bit slow, but very reliable. The main goals I hope to accomplish by getting into a 6 ton machine (with a long stick) as oppose to to 5 or 5.5 ton are as follows longer reach, better...
