E6600 Personally, Great overclocking potential ive pushed mine right up to 3.2GHz without raising the Vcore or anything, and im idleing at 34c.

At stock the 6000+ and the E6600 are very similar at benchmark. However.. the 6000+ won't overclock to 3.6GHz unlike the 6600 which does.

E6600 anyday mate

6000+ doesn't beat the e6600 on all benchmarks! But yes... still, get the e6600
