PG-XL 6M Low Power Output (true or not)?

Hello All
I am looking about for a new amplifier and the PG-XL is on my short list.
I am however concerned re previous reports of low power output, high op temperatures etc when being used on 6m digital modes (mainly in 2021here on this forum).
These previous posts suggest the issue was reported to Flex but there is no resolution on these threads. I am not looking for an amp where 6m is an afterthought and would be interested to know if this is an issue I should be concerned about with the PG-XL?
Any info re issue resolution or comments from heavy 6m users would be appreciated
Cheers
Paul

I use mine almost daily on 6m at 1000 to 1500w with no issue whatsoever. Do ft8 to check for any band openings.
