Yep my GF at the time bought me a HB LCR3004 and I returned it an paid the difference to get the 6000.
The 5000 and 6100 were without the numeric keypad and not as user powerful, much easier to run - the Z-6000 wasn't around long because people like easy and not a big learning curve, now 20 years later we have much more complicated devices, with easy learning curves.
My X70A was only 200 pixels - but to this day my BIL loves how it marks fish on his little boat.
