Satellite Work - VU5K or 6600 with transverters?

All,
I am thinking of perhaps getting into some sat work, wondering if you satellite gurus have a preference for using a Flex-5000 VU5K or a Flex-6600 with VU transverters. I have a VU5K and its excellent, but Im also thinking of trading up for new tech without firewire connection. Currently redoing the shack and getting out of the Flex-5000 line for my VHF and microwave work.
So the question is if there are better programs, software etc. for interfacing for sat work, freq control, etc. for the Flex-6000 series or is the VU5K the ticket. Ease of interface, between the two systems, etc.
Do i hang onto the VU5K or not... lots of + and -'s.

Tim,
I have no issues with Firewire...

@Fred You are fortunate. We are seeing an uptick in Firewire support issues, particularly with Win10 machines. These issues are challenging to debug as there are no diagnostic tools available.0

That's good to know, thanks. I will keep alert to issues. I have been running W10 since the beginning.
