not having a 6" dado to compare with my 8" set, all I can do is
speculate.
the 8" set will have a higher tip speed, which should help reduce
tearout. it may be a moot point though, depending on the rpms of your
saw. sharpness and tooth configuration may be a bigger factor than
diameter.

it should have the effect of helping the saw overcome small variations
in the density of the material. it won't let you maintain a faster
feed rate.
