Skis. Switching from big tires, even 29’s or 31’s, you lose aoa big time with most skis. And sometimes on skis is when you need it most...OK, I gotta ask what you like best about the 6" gear?

Correct, but it does give a 6" gear wider stance, and almost twice the height increase as 3"... both good things for my ops.6" gear doesn't give 6" more height.

I wish Nanook would comment.
I recall his major dislike of the 6" was how his plane reacted in "tussocks". Something about how it dipped a wing further.
I can see where -12s would benefit from PStol flaps, too. No 6" gear necessary.
